    I suppose heat would be a main reason not to do it?

    Not necessarily. It would probably mean that the cookling fan would be running more often, or longer, I guess. (but still within specs, I hope). Bazza

    You won't get nearly the overclock out of a laptop card that you would out of a desktop card because of heat. There is very little space in there which restricts airflow. My guess is that you won't get very much out of it. At least not enough to even worry about overclocking it.

    Thanks Wyatt_Earp. I know that would be the major sticking point, but thought I may be able to get 5-10% improvement, in small steps, with careful experimentation.

    I would still like to know if anyone has attempted o/c in a laptop.
