    I didn't see the ASUS OC utility for the CPU when I went to my local BB.

    What's the OC potential for the GPU and CPU?

    Rep2u for quick reply

    i think they do a "fresh" install on most of their comps or they just remove direct console
    oh and i see you have a 7805u there is little to gain from the upgrade. i mean less than 20% unless you want to blow 1K for a little boost

    Heat is one of the main issues/concerns with the G50/51. I do not recommend overclocking these machines.
