AMD A6-3420M APU Overclocking Help Please

[daniel202]

A little info and backstory...
I have an AMD A6-3420M in my samsung laptop which is like 4 years old. I overclocked it about a year ago to 2.1Ghz with a 2.6Ghz turbo from 1.5 and 2.4 turbo. I recently tried to adjust the overclock voltages and stuff using what I had originally used, (Fusion Tweaker) and I made some unfortunate mistakes. It's not THAT important to know this, but you never now... (2.9 Ghz with this Llano APU is a horrible idea.(Especially if your voltages were too low all along.)) In short it blue screened 3 times trying to fix my overclock. I restored my laptop and ran disk cleaner 3 times to freshen up my pc. I loved the performance I had with that overclock I had setup.

My question...
Does anybody have a recommendation for overclocking this APU, specifically this 41w or 35w APU (Idk what it is, cpu spec sites are iffy.) I don't want to undervolt my APU any more than it was and I'd rather not push this old piece of junk over 2.7Ghz.

This isn't of the greatest importance to get answered ATM, but it would be highly appreciated if someone could share their opinion or stable overclock(s) with me..

Thanks in advance,

I haven't overclocked that specific APU and you could be waiting a long time for someone who has to come along.

Overclocking in a laptop shouldn't be done, simple as that. Software-based overclocking doesn't give you control over all the settings you need; only the BIOS will do that and every laptop BIOS I've come across, even gaming ones, have no overclocking features whatsoever. There's also heat dissipation to consider.

Asking a laptop CPU to run beyond its standard clock speed indefinitely is going to create problems. Asking the same CPU to run beyond its boost speed is just asking for trouble. The extra heat generated from these increased clock speeds will lead to hardware failure.
