    Is it possible? My BIOS offers no assitance in this (the option isn't there to OC) so I guess that eliminates that choice.

    I tried AMD OverDrive, and everything is locked, except for upping the voltage of my CPU (which I didn't really want to do without more info like how far I can take it and soforth)

    I mainly wish to overlclock my graphics card, Radeon HD 3200. I heard it was possible, but I have had no luck.

    I would like to OC my CPU as well.

    Heres my specs:
    Windows 7
    AMD Athlon X2 QL-66 Dual Core @ 2.2Ghz
    3GB RAM
    Radeon HD 3200 with 256MB Dedicated, 1.4GB total shared

    Try asking on the pin-mod thread

    Can't I just use SetFSB or another software mod? Because for the pin mod, I think I have to rip my entire laptop open just to access the CPU, which isn't fun nor good for warranties :(
