here is my specs. a lot 
the stock voltage is at 75% right? so can i bring it back to 100% to get my full use. Or have i read about oc'ing laptops wrong? Im only getting 10-50 fps on counter strike source with moderate graphic settings. shouldnt i be getting more?
or if you have any other suggestions.
btw, I just bought a laptop cooling pad today.
