    I'm used to being able to overclock using the bios, I really never liked overclocking in windows for various reasons. So whats the best utility to use? What kind of overclocks is everyone getting?

    Unfortunately, only a few laptops (like the Alienwares and Dell XPS) support BIOS based overclocking.

    - SetFSB for the CPU
    - Nvidia System Tools for GPU

    See my sig for overclocking. I run the CPU at 3.4, but my GPU is downed at desktop, and maxed while gaming.
