    Can I Overclock an Intel i3 @ 2.27 Ghz, and if so, how?


    I would like to be able to get decent performance out of Minecraft and TF2 (currently averaging 20 FPS on both), but I am not sure how to overclock my CPU to say, 2.5 - 2.6 Ghz.
    Considering the CPU I have, should I overclock, or is this a horrible idea? If I can safley OC, how do I go about doing so?
    Thanks either way!

    Laptops are not good candidates for OC IMHO. Even if you could unlock the CPU you would have so much extra heat you might be in danger of melting it.

    Dell locks it for a reason.

Yes I know that everyone say you need to add voltage to a cpu to overclock it. If you are worried about burning up CPU there is another way. For those who use any ix processor simply move up the Base clock or bclock. For those who still have a LGA 775 processor just turn up the Front Side Bus or...
