    push up the clocks 50 MHz at a time and test its stability and watch the temps.

    If your suposed to have a 8600 instead of a 8400. Get back there, and get a 8600 or better. Last thing you want is to get ripped off.

    Otherwise, just increase the clocks slowly and test. What I did with my last laptop is increased 25-50mhz at a time, ran 3dmark06. And repeated and watched/recorded temperature changes. Then just find were you feel comfortable. Then test it out for about a couple of days and see if theres any problems.
