    I own an Asus M50Sa-AK023C NoteBook [Intel Core 2 Duo T9300(2.50GHz) 15.4" Wide SXGA+ 4GB Memory DDR2 667 500GB HDD 5400rpm]. I recently undervolted it using RMclock and ran an Orthos stress test to check for stability. I was wondering if anyone had any guides on overclocking the T9300. I know it's possible, and it has been done by a few of our posters here on NotebookReview. If anyone had any tips, guides, or starters to overclocking a T9300, please reply. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    If your gonna OC, your gonna have to remove the undervolt first or else your notebook will be unstable.

    Undervolting = reduces voltage
    Overclocking = needs more voltage

    How do you overclock in a notebook? I thought you couldn't do that inside of a laptop.

    You can use SetFSB to overclock the CPU.
