Hi all,

first off I know laptops aren't good for gaming, but its what ive got right now. Anyways, I got a asus k53s and it has a intel i7 2630QM running at 2ghz with turbo boost bumping it up to 2.9ghz. Is there anyway I could force it to run at 2.9ghz when playing a game? I don't see the meter showing that its going up to 2.9. Also does anyone know of anyways to boost gaming performance on a laptop (software wise) also is it okay for me to OC the cpu on it a little bit?

thanks guys and gals

You can use throttlestop to make your processor run at higher multipliers (not past stock speeds though) but it's not really necessary as your processor will turbo to the higher frequencies as needed. You can't OC your processor because intel locked the multipliers and ASUS locked the BIOS (meaning no BCLK changes). And you're going to be GPU (you have the 540m, right?) bound in pretty much every game so even if you could OC your processor you won't see meaningful gains in FPS anyway.

ya its the 540m, I kinda figured that was the answer I was going to get haha. I don't like gaming on a laptop, but I needed the portability for school :/ thanks for your answer bro
