Thread Starter 
How do you overclock the processor in the AW Area-51m2 (is it safe..as in I won't fry the processor)? Can you get the new Intel 3.2Ghz to run at 4ghz?

Is it safe to overclock the video card, and how do you do it?

i'd imagine you would want to increase the cooling in there, if you wanted to overclock. not sure how you'd go about doing that. move to alaska?

OCing in a laptop is not a good idea. The cooling systems are generally not very marginal, and any extra cooling capacity needed for an overclock will not be there.

HEhe.. im sorry, but as an OCer, i cant help but laff at that.

Even if this was a desktop, you need at LEAST a chilled water system, if not liquid N2. Not to mention PC4200+ grade ram.

Regardless, no, you cant. AW, or any other company like this, does not condone laptop OCIng, since it is much more possible to produce an overheated unit, and thus cause damage.
