Overclocking an AMD E-450 in a Laptop

[Nigh]

I have a HP Pavilion G6 laptop (I know, I still kick myself for getting a HP), with a dual core AMD E-450 processor with integrated radeon graphics. Now, I'm getting a new computer soon and this will become my work laptop, but I'm a man of speed, and I would like to overclock my processor, maybe the GPU. I've heard people say they've OCed the E-450 30-40% with no temp issues and no instability, and so my question is, is it safe to overclock a E-450 in a laptop? How would I do it? And what would be a cooling solution? Thanks!

You are looking at a very daunting task there. The first obstacle heat (as you are aware). I'll suggest loading coretemp and CPU-Z and GPU-Z then running Prime and Unigine Heaven to get a feel for how much thermal headroom you actually have (I'd wager not much). The next big obstacle is the BIOS which is locked down so users can't unwittingly brick the computer. You may be able to find an unlocked BIOS version that will work - it'll take a bit of research but this site may be a good start http://www.bios-mods.com/
Depending upon how much thermal headroom you do have, you might be able to squeeze a few hundred MHz out of the CPU - the GPU is a major heat producer and I'm not sure I would look to clock it much (if any)

E450 typically to OC gpu / CPU .. but check bios to see if the brand HP support OC / ocable?? I think no. so in other words can not ... just a suggestion
