if so, then whats the best way to do it? thx

Almost no computer companies let u OC the cpu....u might be able to do it through software but i highly dont recommend it.

Laptops have large problems with overheating with stock clocks...i couldnt imagine what happens when u OC it

i saw a laptop dell xps i believe, that lets you oc in bios easily, for some reason i cant access the bios on this laptop

and the use of software, is it really that bad?

 

[Pidol]

also if the cpu is not oc friendly, is the gpu possible to oc

No, you can't OC that Laptop.

Heat is a big concern in laptops.
If somehow you succeeded in doing this, you would likely quickly destroy your laptop.

OC'ing anything on a laptop is not a good idea. They got hot when running stock.

These people don't know what the **** they're talking about. So far, no CPU overclocking, but GPU, most people are able to take their stock 600 MHZ speed to 700. I am keeping mine at 725/1000/1850 with no overheating. Just make sure you're propped up in back.

Hello Mr. Stranger....welcome to THF. Nice to kno u sign up just so u can flame a single post....

Most of these responses are towards cpu overclocking....Generally such things are done in the BIOS....

Also, most of us are right to the fact where it overheats. I dont think all ppl with laptops enjoy propping up the back, usually i leave mine flat on the table....
And for sure, ppl here like zen and runswindows95 are very knowledgeable and it is not necessary to begin ur post with such a statement. A simple correction with ur own personal experience would be much more appropriate
