    this is my first post so yeah.. :)

    I'm planning to buy a lenovo Y580 because of its performance for a low price. Now I've been really researching to this laptop and found very few people have Overclocked this laptop by small increments... can someone show me some step-by-step process on how you've OC'ed your lenovo y580s? 'cause I'm planning to OC it once I got my hands on it hehe thanks!

    Oh and is MSI Afterburner good to OC the y580? any experiences? thanks!

    msi afterburner will work.. but you can only overclock so far... personally.. i just leave it at lenovo dynamic graphics.. so the card runs boosted at 950 instead of the stock 835 i think it is.. it does amazing even without overclocking :)
