    I'm thinking about doing this, has any one done it yet?

    I'm not so familiar with it so I was wondering what stable settings ever one else has set their clock speeds at?

    Ok, I just overclocked to 620/930 and I'm getting that clicking noise in my AC adapter I've heard people talk about. I don't know if this was confirmed, but is this bad? Do I have to buy a new AC adapter to overclock?

    Ya i would hold off in OCing it to much if it all cause if you blow your adapter your not going to be able to use your laptop at all and thats not worth a few more fps in the games your playing. theres nothing besides crysis atm that you really need to squeeze every last frame out of it to enjoy .

    yeah I agree. I already set it back to stock. Now we just need to find out what adapter will work with overclocking.
