You can on the 7800/7900 GeforceGOs on the 9400 AFAIK as they were way underclocked. The CPU, I don't believe so but the graphics card maybe doable with ATI-Tool for your card however.

Correctomundo.

Unfortunately, to overclock a laptop graphics card you need to flash the bios as the cards arn't like conventional desktop cards.

I have a Geforce go 7600. (Asus F3JV)
Added coolbits and had a play, now ive got a 30% performace increase when running on AC

4200 in 3dmark 05, not bad for a 15" lappy.

Yar i've raised the clock slightly on my 6150, makes TMNations a bit better.

I wouldn't go too far though.

Why not?
No different to a desktop... as long as it stays cool and stable its ok.

I overclock my laptops ATI x600 up by 75% GPU and 25% memory, and have had my PentiumM 700 up to 2.13GHz from the standard 1.8Ghz.
Quite a good improvement with no instability.

Gierke · 26th December 2006, 2:01 PM

Well they have no where near the level of cooling compared to a desktop. Like you say, as long as it is stable etc, ok, but that wall will be at a lower clock.

so in order to overclock my lappgy gpu wat can i do??

flash the bios on the gpu card??

where and how

Gierke · 26th December 2006, 5:24 PM

If it's an ATI video card, get ATITool, if it's Nvidia, get coolbits or rivatuner. For cpu, clockgen would be my guess.

Danthemanz · 26th December 2006, 6:11 PM

Are there actually any tools to screw with the FSB of the i945M???
I thought there wasnt?

MWP - How did you do yours? I take it yours was a i915M?
