    HP tme-lock their PLLs so can't overclock them unless do PLL pinmods. See sig. A 84000-2.26 is overclocked to 3.6Ghz here using PLL and dualIDA overclocking. Quite a big margin to play with.

    Yes u'll need a pin mod.. even after that , u might not have ur PLL supported... hp's not recommended for overclocking.. i had a Dv5t with similar specs and T9400 and it ran hot even without OCIng.. u'll burn the laptop with Ocing..
