    I have a G50VT x5, and have flashed my GPU bios for optimal performance. Now that my GPU is overclocked to its full potential, I would like to OC my CPU as much as possible, but hardware overclocking is not available in my BIOS.

    Even with Turbo Extreme enabled my CPU maxes around 57 degrees, so I should be able to get quite a bit more performance out of it if further overclocking is possible.

    I see about a 5-10fps increase in games between regular and turbo extreme, so I really want to push the processor more.


    Is there a bios update or any other way of overclocking this CPU? Software based software doesn't seem to work in Vista x64 so that doesn't seem to be an option.
    What about hacking direct console to change the Turbo Extreme clock frequency?

    Any Ideas?

    Overclocking a CPU in a laptop is nigh on impossible if software options don't support your PLL.
