How could i overclock my intel i3 550?
I tried to do it in the bios but their are no power options related to overclocking at all, are there any good alternatives that won't fry my pc and turn it into a oven? :)

Quick question, before you get all exited about overclocking. Why do you feel you need to do it?
Just want to get some extra juice out of my pc
Im quite aware of what i should do
Here is the problem that i3 processor you have...is not overclockable. Nothin will even try to overclock it.
Oh well i guess it isnt worth it then. Thank you for the answers
That is different than saying the processor is not oveclockable though. I expect the BIOS on the PC won't let you.
Replace the HDD with a SSD and you will get a BIG performance boost - and the laptop will run cooler too. That will beat any CPU overclock.
The extra CPU juice you would really only notice in very specific allplications like e.g. video encoding. But the extra juice from the SSD you will see all around (except for the web where you depend on your line speed).
