So hi again guys I've been having fun with my M11x for a couple of weeks, but I'd like to know how do I OC my cpu here. I know it's a stupid question but I've never OC'd a computer before so I wanna do the right thing (specially with a brand new laptop)
EDIT: Sorry I forgot to mention I have an M11x R2 with the i7 processor

Are you seriously posting this?

Here's a video that shows you step-by-step how to overclock an M11x R2
YouTube - How To Over-Clock M11x R2 -

If you actually did a search, you'd find that I asked this question too.
Here is what somebody posted for a R2:
Short OC guide:
- Reboot
- Hit F2 when you see the alien head logo
- Once in the BIOS right arrow to the Advanced menu
- Scroll down to CPU Overclock and hit Enter
- Scroll down to 166MHz and hit Enter
- Hit F10 to save settings and reboot
- If you manage to boot to the desktop then you're going to want to stress test your system at the bus frequency you've chosen.
- If you get a BSOD then reboot and try the next lower setting for CPU OC.
- Once you've booted successfully, download and install Prime95.
- Fire up Prime95 and run the In-place large FFTs torture test.
- Go watch a movie and eat dinner as you're going to want to let Prime95 run for at least a few hours.
If your system doesn't freeze or BSOD then you're probably OK at the setting you've chosen in the BIOS.
To further test, play a game or two for a few hours, preferably something that will utilize multiple cores. This will get your CPU and GPU going at the same time.
Rinse and repeat until you find the frequency that's stable for you.

,like on the other post that just got edited for you , seems like everybody here is too stupid for you , so why not just keep your comments to yourself , and let us idiots ask stupid questions so maybe, just maybe one day we may be as wise as you.
