    I doubt you'll be able to do much overclock at all. I have a friend with the dv6-7000 and his GPU starts throttling at stock speeds even repasted if he playes demanding games.

    Hi,
    You ain't going anywhere with OC'ing the DV6-7000 series! I have the 650M model and LORD DOES IT SUCK AT OC'ing! You run into thermal issues, BSoD's, and more. Trust me, if you want to OC then you don't want the DV6!
