    Does anyone attempted to overclock their cpu? i am not satisfied with the turbo boost.. i notice when i played bf3 with turbo boost it lags, so i decided to disable turbo boost and played smoothly with GPU oc also.

    That doesn't make much sense... if it lags its being overheated or running critical close to temp extremes. So overclocking will NOT help. the Z1 doesn't have good cooling for the processor in them. Too much heat, too little fan.

    i am facing the problem with my gaming. I have dell XPS laptop with 4 gb ram, [email protected], and nvidia geforce gt 555m 3gb.
    earlier games on my laptop worked just fine and smooth, i played a lot of games of very high config, but now the games start well but after some time the fps reduced incredulously, even the games like FIFA 13 are not getting good FPS.
