    What is the highest overclock of a 920xm/940xm using reasonable cooling mods? By reasonable mods I mean something that after done the notebook is still usable in a normal fashion (NOT a liquid nitrogen tube sticking out the top ;)

    What are the best notebooks for overclocking? Obviously the R2 but what else is good?

    not many laptop comes close to the m17x-r2 as it can use turbo boost on all it's 4 core so frequency can be a little lower but it gives more power if it has all 4 cores

    some are better but only on a single core case as for wich one is bette i've been a little off of overclocking since i7 are out

    920xm no dout... G73 come close but still not close enough... of course a D900F or X7200 with an i7-950 would own the M17x..
