    I'd like to try overclocking my CF-U1 mark 2. It has an Atom Z530 with stock speed of 1.6GHz; reports from other laptops suggest that there is usually room to overclock this chip a bit. However the only way to do so is by increasing the FSB, so the memory and motherboard also need to be able to run faster.

    (Before everyone jumps in to point it out, I understand that the CF-U1 has no active cooling and so it would not be wise to attempt extreme overclocking. I use mine in relatively cool environments, even though it is rated to withstand much higher external temperatures, and I would like to get a small speed boost if I can.)

    To use SetFSB you need to know the clock generator your motherboard uses. The CF-U1 is not the most user-serviceable of computers and so I'd rather not take it apart to look at the motherboard and try to spot the clock generator. Does anyone know the details, or have experience with SetFSB on this machine?
