Can I overclock my Laptop?
I don't think Laptops are overclock-able. I just wanted to make sure.

Yes they are overclockable. Just it is advised as laptips runn quite hot as it stands. Using a program like setfsb wont increase temperatures and will allow you to overclock abit
Keep in mind that most laptop CPU multipliers are locked anyway and most laptops only allow you to increase the FSB and/or multiplier by a couple MHz. (to my knowledge anyway)
Very true. I think OC'ers should just stick to OCing PCs. :P
You can always
#1 add more ram
#2 add SSD
#3 Get rid of all bloatware
#4 Cooling pad
That is how we all Oc our Lappys no need to mess with Bios settings just add superior hardware and it will almost jump out at ya

You possibly can overclock your laptop. However I would highly recommend NOT doing this as a laptop shell is completely enclosed and no airflow... Unlike a PC you are able to change your fans and add water cooling.
Depends from the laptop. high-end gaming laptops allow overclocking (and have the cooling power to survive it). Most others don't allow any tweaking (I have yet to find a laptop whose BIOS is not stripped to the bone), as they are close to their limits even as-is.
Even with a gaming laptop I wouldn't... Overclocking a laptop is like putting cellophane around your PC case and overclocking it. Where as overclocking a PC there's a lot more airflow.
I don't think i want to OC my laptop anymore.
