Just your average Laptop

That's far better than average, Nice scores.
Just to clarify what I meant - If the spinning hard drive is the lowest score I would consider that above average.

I think it was getting very late when I wrote that, did not mean to imply you would sell any degraded hardware.

I've read many OC'ing forums where this was said, and was just mentioning that some info you read on OC'ing sites is not what the average enthusiast would want to do, mainly OC'ing at high temps because they don't plan on keeping the hardware or they just don't care if it dies.
I have seen a lot of posts at different sites telling someone, that is just starting to OC, that 90-100°C is ok, I think it's appropiate to mention the risk and possible damage that can occur at these high clocks and temps and tell them "OC at your own risk'.
There are a few members at these other forums that do mention these things, but don't see it enough.

Glad to hear that your CPU temps are down.

I understand and things happen, my reply should have been different as well...

I do appreciate your advice in regards to OC-ing, even if it is not for me. The default settings work just fine and the system is plenty fast as it is. The system is running at its default settings and I am still amazed at the load speed for the Photoshop CS5; on previous system with conventional hard drives, it used to take close to a minute to start up.

Thanks again...

No worries, no harm, no foul.

A small OC is usually enough to see an improvement, and you do learn a lot about your system when you delve into the OC realm

The only thing I did was replace the 320 5400 rpm drive to a 500 7200 rpm.

Just upgraded my GTX 260 to a Radeon HD 6870. So far happy with the results in games. WEI also jumped from 7.3 to 7.8 :)

Funny. My 945 only gets a 7.3. What are you running it at?

Ok..thanks. Mines only @ 3.3. Also, you should think about getting an SSD. You'd love it and your rig would be vastly better (not that it's bad now)
