Overclocking Sager 9262 anyone??? Overclock the CPU

[TheOaKMaN]

I own a Sager 9262 with a Q6600. I know that this is a laptop and isnt efficient with overclocking, but is it ok to overclock this bad boy a little bit? is it worth it? anyone has any help, clues, ideas, or suggestions? i do have a laptop cooler and its dual fan. I need some opinion on this since i dont want to screw up my nice laptop. i like to play games at the highest settings possible and yeah.... :D thanks in advance

First of all, are you referring to overclocking the CPU or GPU ?
Secondly, you have a quad core! Any game today recommends just any dual core.. And to top it off, you have a 8800M GTX video card, if not two. Why would you possibly even need to overclock ? :)
People generally find the need to overclock their hardware when it gets old and outdated, unable to perform well in modern games.. I would say that's the right time ;)
I'd just use it the way it is IMO... Even if you overclock it, you wouldn't OC it MUCH as you yourself said...

is it ok to overclock this bad boy a little bit?

That wouldn't give you much improvement any way... Maybe a very little improvement in 3DMark scores, but in real life environment, like playing Crysis, you wouldn't notice much of a difference..

So I'd say you just stick to the really top hardware that you already have! :)

i heard Sager makes it where you can not oc your processers. is that true. in ref to the cpu, not the gpu.

I doubt that, though I have not attempted overclocking. The X9000 is even advertized as overclockable.

yeah i agree. all of intels X series processers are suppose to have all the multipliers unlocked where you can oc to your hearts content, but like i said i was just repeating what i read somewhere and wanted some feed back on that. thanks

what i meant was my CPU. The Q6600 is very overclockable (atleast on the desktop world). Im not running so hot in crysis and i wana improve it. maybe from 2.4ghz to let say.... 2.6 2.7Ghz maybe? the videocard i know u cant overclock (only for the sager 9262? thats what ive read) so thats out of the question. i just wana see the improvements, eventhough it wont probably be much :)
