    Hello dear notebook gaming enthusiasts!

    I am interested in overclocking my alienware m18x r2's dual 7970ms, but so far have had no luck in succeeding.
    I have tried the method where you install ati afterburner 2.2.1, then copy the .dll file, then, upgrade ati afterburner to 2.2.3, and then change the configuration files as to allow unofficial overclocking.

    I don't want to try any method invloving flashing the vbios becuase something very bad could happen.

    Can anyone help me out with an up to date method of achieving overclocking?

    I currently have CCC 12.8 installed.
