    Hii

    I know there has been in the past some topics about overclocking the i5 450M/520M/540M, but I wonder if someone managed to overclock the cpu in the envy 15?

    I have seen succesfull results from an 450M part within the envy 14, but that's about it. Some people have managed to overclock with an alienware or asus g71.

    Now most of them were using setfsb (some setppl?), and you need a certain PLL (which you can only find opening the notebook).
    However that's not problem, the problem is to find the PLL, if it's already there.

    Does someone know how to overclock i5 in the envy 15?
    We can work out something if people share some numbers or thoughts

    EDIT: some interesting thread: http://forum.notebookreview.com/acer/479584-acer-aspire-3820t-29.html
