    I'm new to overclocking laptops. Anyone have some good links to overclocking there R2? Basically any links or ideas on how to get the most out of the machine without breaking it? Any help would be welcomed.

    FYI... following that guide I received my first laptop BSOD... in my opinion, credibility is questionable :) (however I am sure there are tons of people whom this worked for)

    Posting your system specs is always a good place to start when asking for advice also.

    I used that guide also :) You can use the A10 BIOS mod for a 5% BIOS OC. You can see the link in my sig.
