    Is it possible on an HDX16? I understand its a lot of hard work and careful hands but is it possible?

    Major Bummer. Guess i'm gonna look into slightly overclocking it to near 130M Specs. I undervolted the CPU so hopefully that cut down on enough heat to handle the 130M fine :)

    130M is only 17% faster. So I think you can overclock the 9600m to the speed of the 130m.
