    Hello,

    I am new to the forum, and i don´t seem to find (after looking pretty throughly) anything on how to overclock this motherboard. BIOS does not give any options, is there any software program that does? I am just intrested in increasing the FSB and lowering the Multiplier.

    I have RM but i just can manage the voltage and multiplier, no FSB. I am runing it a 0.925v btw.

    Thanks in advance.

    There are ways I'm pretty sure but most people are happy with its speed and wouldn't risk overclocking it because it's so risky since it's a laptop. It's much more dangerous than a desktop.

    dont think it would be too dangerous scince i´m not planing to go over 1.0v... its just because it seems that FSB afects GTA4 more than the actual clock speed. So i was planing to use higher FSB with lower multi. GTA4 is just unplayable online... i get frame drops to 10.

    That's Rockstar's fault, and more juice doesn't help nearly as much as it should. Hope they release a patch soon.

    For overclocking, look at SetFSB and you need to know your chipset PLL. Keep very close tabs on your temps though, I've seen more than one person burn up their laptop.

    yeah dude, what he said. your not looking at a power issue, you are looking at either un optimised drivers from nvidias side (dude its a brand new game, relax) or bad porting from the GTAIV gang, either way, new drivers and a patch are due soon no doubt
