    Dell has a BIOS lock for overclocking. There is a crack, so you can overclock. I hope some other member can help you further.

    There isn't really a "crack," you have to flash your BIOS each time you want to OC. You just use nvflash to flash the card. PM me if you want a detailed explanation of how to do it, I don't really want to type it all up right now

    I believe there is a boot ISO available over at notebookforums.com Just go to the Dell 17'' screen section and look for OC'd 7900 GS threads.
