    EDIT: CPU-Z is giving me different stats than Nvidia control panel so here are those, still without turbogear active:
    I was hoping somebody could shine some light on a way to further clock this bad boy up.
    If the CPU in the G51 can go from 2.0 -> 2.5 (with a cooling pad) then I'm hoping I can go from 2.53 -> 3.16ish (basically the same 25% overclock); however, I'm going to tax the CPU at every 2% margin in between 15% and 25% to stay safe.

    I'm new to overclocking, but I do realize the danger, and the best ways to keep my hardware safe.

    Thanks in advance,
    XT
