Sony Vaio overclocking.

russell664 · 11 Jan 2012 at 22:11

Hello everyone.

Ok I have a sony vaio with an amd e-350, and I have to say the preformance is pretty good. However, I want to push both the cpu and gpu, a little further. I know I need a modified bios, thats why I came here. It's for overclockers, I wish to be one.

So is there anyway for me to overclock my system. I have read other people doing it on msi based boards, and would like to do it on my vaio, could anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks, any help is appreicated

I'm interested in this as well as I've just bought a Vaio Y-series with an AMD E-350. From what I've seen so far it doesn't seem possible on laptops but there's not a lot of info out there yet.

I'd strongly suggest not overclocking on a laptop. They're just not built for it!

You'd cook the laptop/anything it's sat on

A dedicated notebook forum may be a better bet (notebookreview comes to mind), but someone may be along to help. The E350 does have a bit of headroom (even at stock volts) but a lot of laptop builders don't give the cooling enough headroom!

Can't help with it as I don't have a Brazos system to test

I'd strongly suggestyou don't overclock a laptop, even if it can do it, the cooling just isn't going to be enough.

If anything, upgrade the CPU, I have done this to a few laptops with positive performance effects with no extra heat.

Could be wrong but iirc the E350 apu is supplied to oems as a bga package to solder directly to motherboards

i agree, this is a bad idea - cooling wont be sufficient - dont try it unless you wanna melt the laptop and burn your desk

I've done it before on other laptops using a modified BIOS and it worked fine (mild overclock of course). I assume none of you have actually tried it and are simply speculating...
