Overclocking/BIOS Unlocking?
Now that I am stuck with this laptop (ALL specs are listed, check them out), I want to see if I can get some extra juice from my weak CPU. I know nothing about overclocking, I used to overclock my very first PC back in 04 which was like an old AMD processor and the GeForce 5200 or something like that (holy c**p how time flies!) by just going into BIOS and screwing around, but I still have no idea what I'm doing.
First real question would be: is it even smart to overclock a laptop's CPU?
The (big) problem here is that my BIOS is absolutely terrible. My clock speeds get throttled down whenever temperatures reach near 75 degrees C and until I quit out of a game they just refuse to jump back up. Not sure what I can do about that, but from what I've read, it's a BIOS issue.
If someone has some (perhaps even personal) insight into Intel's Sandy Bridge CPUs and the nVidia 630M GPU and the HM77 MOBO and how and even IF I can go with all this, I'd really appreciate that instead of reading generic tutorials on the internets.
