I recently bought a new laptop that has an A8-5557M APU but I'm having trouble finding a way to take the CPU cores past the stock 2.1ghz. Any ideas?

Bump. More info:

I've successfully used K10 stat on an A6-3420M but the most recent version I can find is 1.54 from Aug 2011 and it when I try to use it on the Richland APU, it gives the following error: "Can't detect family 10h/11h/12h/14h processor". I've also tried AMD Overdrive which will work for undervolting but won't let me go higher than 2.1GHz.

I'm saddened that nobody here could help me, even after several days. The nice people over at overclock.net were able to help me out within minutes. They suggested PSCheck which seems to have done the trick. I found out that the normal p-states P3-P0 are locked at 2.1 GHz but it let me overclock with the turbo p-states. Plus it will let me adjust the voltage for them as well so I'll be able to tweak it exactly how I want.
