    I recently purchased the Lenovo y560p with i7 Sandy Bridge 2.00GHz and 4GB of Ram. Installed a new 7200 rpm Hitachi and a 64gb Kingston SSD in Msata and will soon also upgrade to a faster 8gb ram. This thing is running smooth as a babies butt at low temperatures thus far.

    I have been curious on any results of people overclocking the 6570m, at safe temps, to gain a slight performance increase. SO far my only need for this would be playing games on my 22" monitor at 1680x1050; which it runs decently, but still has a few jitters here and there. This is only on SWTOR so far.

    I have the most up to date ati graphics drivers currently and the most up to date bios that rids of crawling ants on gradients. Any suggestions or personal settings that could improve performance?
