    Hi guys.

    First of all, I'm wondering if overclocking voids your warranty with Malibal products. I'm assuming as long as the overclocking isn't the cause of the problem then it won't be an issue.

    Second of all, I'm wondering if the i7 2630qm and nvidia 560m can be overclocked without any additional cooling / upgraded thermal paste. I don't want to push it too far but if I can get a bit of extra juice out of this computer it would be awesome!

    I just received my laptop last night and I absolutely love it! Its gorgeous and runs all of my games so nicely!!

    Hah the 560m is excellent for the value. It was the only option I had without spending an extra $300 to get the P150HM instead of the P151HM. My most played game is League of Legends which isn't too intensive! I'll be more than fine with this one :)

    You can't OC mobile Sandy Bridge CPUs except for the Xtreme version, as for the 560M I don't think you have to worry about voiding warranty or crazy temps since you can't touch the vcore

    The cooling on this thing is pretty impressive for a laptop though. My CPU and GPU idle in the low 40's and max out at just over 70C (under real usage, not stress test)
