    I don't believe anyone's been able to overclock their CPU on an F, only GPU.

    I really can't imagine why you would think that program could overclock your CPU or any CPU. It's a graphics card program.

    Look, as far as any of us knows, you can not overclock your CPU. I'm not sure why you bought the computer you did if it was so very important to you to be able to overclock or have a higher performing CPU than you do. You can keep looking for a way of course, and please report back if you find one, but the CPU in this laptop was never meant to be overclocked.

    Are you not happy with Turbo Boost? It does the overclocking for you on an "as needed" basis.
