    Hello,

    So, first off I would like to say I have browsed NotebookReview a few times for other reasons and Just now got the time to sign up.
    Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had any luck or knew if it was possible to Overclock the Asus Z96J. Specs Below:

    Why do you need to overclock? For desktop work and even light gaming/processing, the CPU should suffice.

    As to how to do it, I can only offer vague pointers since I'm not into the notebook-overclocking business. :) There is a program called SetFSB which allows you to overclock the CPU. Not sure it works for all CPU models and chipsets, so be cautious.
