    Before you do any overclocking you'll want to check your temperatures. Download HWMonitor (I'd link the website but I'm on my tablet atm) run it and play a demanding game for an hour or so. Afterwhich post a screenshot of your temperatures and we'll go from there,

    Yes the AW14 came with GT750M and GTX765M... In both cases, GPU's were soldered to motherboard... So to upgrade to 765M, you have to swap motherboards...

    I wouldn't recommend overclockint the 750m. Performance gains are minimal.

    Actually it has quite a bit of OC headroom.

    It does, but testing on my own 750m, the gains were pretty marginal. This is regarding newer games though. But yeah it does OC to like 1.3ghz without breaking a sweat.

    You were probably bottlenecked by the DDR3. However, OP's 750M is GDDR5 so it should see bigger gains.

    It, it definitely is bottlenecked by DDR3, but I was testing at 720p res :D hahaha.

    It doesn't help that my other two laptops sports an OC 780m, and dual 980m, so maybe that is why I am content with the stock performance of 750m haha :)
