You can't. First i3s are locked. Second, the mobo can't oc. And third, oem laptops will be locked. You could oc the gpu but that's it.

I don't think you can overclock laptops in any way. Also, as k1114 said, i3's are locked.

what's mean i3's are locked............... & how can i oc my gpu

 

[k1114]

It means you can't oc. You can oc the gpu with msi afterburner.

 

[Erwin Langi]

are msi afterburner's just for msi mobo...?

 

[k1114]

Mobo is irrelevant.

You should be able to control the heat and in laptops there is not much features to control heat.

You'll need to contact lenovo for a cpu support list. Just because a cpu is the same socket doesn't mean the bios is compatible. Why do you want to upgrade?

i have HP probook i5 2410M 2.30 ghz...and the socket's same with my lenovo
so i replace it last night
now my lenovo cpu was replace with i5 2410M 2.30 ghz
and i read at this website ( http://www.cpu-world.com/Sockets/Socket%20G2%20(rPGA988B).html ) i5 2410M 2.30 ghz can be turbo freq up to 2.90 ghz
how it works ?

 

[Erwin Langi]

i mean my lenovo was able to operate that i5
and how to overclock it

 

[k1114]

Turbo is automatic. What I posted in my first post of why you can't oc the cpu still applies.
