Anyone know any trick to OC my GX7422 CPU, MEM, and, GPU! All I really need is a thread to get me started. I heard about some sanding trick on your CPU but cant find any directions on the process.

Im trying to run CS: Source but its performace is just a little shy to get the job done. Figure after OCing I could at least play at low graphic settings.

Thanks folks!

I am not sure about overclocking the processor.

But for the video card try: ati Tool http://www.techpowerup.com/atitool/.

If you are going to overclock it I would just only do while you are gaming. Keep in mind that you run a high risk of harming you laptop if you overclock. Make sure that you keep the airflow throught your laptop while you are oc'ing.

I have heard of sanding the bottom of your heatsink (with 600 grit, I think) to ensure that it is flat. A flatter heatsink and artic silver will provide a better thermal transfer than a rough heatsink.
