    Hi guys, I have an Acer 8935g with Q9000 processor and 4GB DDR3 Ram. Is it possible/worth overclocking my processor? If its worth it does anyone have an idots guide on how to do this?

    Also is it possible for you to check this thread I posted in the Acer area (I think this would have been the better place to ask the question)

    Cheers
    H :D

    Yeah, it's worth it to overclock the Q9000 as long as you keep an eye on your temps. As far as what it takes to OC your particular model I have no idea. Most people use setfsb for overclocking--google it.

    I don't think the 8930G is supposed by SetFSB, but I don't know for sure. Moral_hazard is probably the user to ask about it.
