There's no need to overclock your laptop. You'll fry the thing.

My old computer; I overclocked my i7 processor to 3.3 gHz, but I always end up force shutting down because the computer can't handle it. So that, in turn, damaged my power supply and fried my hard drive. Right now, I'm running a ghost of my current applications on a new hard drive with a stock i7. Don't do it MC. The computer repair man told me it was very rare for him to be able to fix my computer's power supply pack and recover everything from my hard drive. It turns out my hard drive was damaged and its status was so bad it couldn't start windows. It was a miracle to be able to get all my data back.

so don't do what I did. Just leave it stock because it's good enough.
