    Be sure to read up on the subject before trying since you do run the risk of damaging your GPU. To OC, there's a number of tools (in order of preference, note that some may or may not work)
    1. ATI Tool
    2. AMD GPU Clock Tool May want to try v.7 if this one doesn't work.
    3. ATI Tray Tools

    Two things of note: 1) the ATI Mobility Radeon 3670 is already factory overclocked from the 3650 - every other aspect is identical to the 3650, and 2) the Studio XPS 16 has been reported to run very hot even without overclocking. You're going to need a good laptop cooler before you overclock.

    I would be more insterested in undervolting the GPU so that it actually lasts beyond 3 hours reliably
