    Need help with overclocking....

    I have a new U81a-RX05 (the Best Buy model) and would like to try a little overclocking. I can't seem to find the PLL clock generator number (needed to run setFSB). I can't see it by opening the panel on the bottom since there is a "ledge" obscuring anything near the CPU. It might be on the other side of the mobo but I really don't want to tear apart a brand new laptop.

    It might be the same PLL used in a U80V or a U81. Anyone have the number? The usual hardware info programs don't tell me which chip it is. Any suggestions?
