    Check out the benchmarks in my sig. I ran 82 background processes, had the computer idle for 20 minutes and overclocked my GPU to 701, 1002, and 1803. Also, I have the newest Nvidia Drivers from Toshiba's website.

    So why would Toshiba put this on their web site under Qosmio x305 Product Tour>features>processing

    "Intel Processing Blistering-fast, the 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor technology on the Qosmio X300 gaming laptop can actually be OVER-CLOCKED to get more frames per second plus more non-stop acton than you bargained for. For sheer breath-taking speed, other CPUs can't even come close."

    Why are they advocating overclocking CPU over GPU? beats the hell out of me. Was it a typo? Did they mean GPU? Can this be done? Someone please let me know cause I want to do this.

    And sorry I didn't know how to copy and paste from the site so I type it in word for word.

    Well if you check, they're reffering to the x9100 processor, which is factory designed to be overclockable... So, when you buy a laptop with an Xtreme Processor you know that you'll be able to overclock without voiding the warranty... If toshiba had blocked the overclock option, that would be a Rip-Off, paying Premiun Price for Premiun processor without all the benefits...

    yes, you can play games at my super OC, but dont make it a habit. i recommend 650/950/1750 for all around overclocking. but i only overclock super high for benchmarks or once in a while for games. i never run it overclocked at startup, i just do it manually.
