I hope this is the right place to put this, I know it's about a laptop, but its only about the cooling, so I figured this would be the right place to post
But ANYWAYS, I was wondering if they sell aftermarket cooling for laptops and their components. I want to do some Overclocking, but I was warned that when it come to Laptops, you gotta be careful OC'ing anything, due to the average cooling not being able to keep up with the increased heat output from OC'ing the CPU and GPU.
So can I buy aftermarket laptop cooling, and install it myself, just like with a Desktop (Except smaller obviously) ? and what would you recommend to get the job done.
I wanna OC my Phenom II Tripe-Core, currently at its stock 2.1GHz. and the I was OC my Radeon 5470m. I'm planning on getting a different brand of RAM (which I have no idea what brand this laptop came with) I currently have 4GB of DD3 1066 ram. Not sure the timings. But I think as is, with the proper cooling, I could get a decent OC out this laptop. and with come real good cooling, and some better RAM, I could do better.
edit - here is the link to the actual Laptop, on newegg, where we bought it. which I just noticed, that it's like 120$ cheaper now, then when I bought it, like not even 2months ago lol - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834220753
