Hi guys,
I would like to try to overclock my integrated graphic card AMD Radeon HD 8850A in my Lenovo IC B550. I have tried AMD overdrive software but it didn´t recognize my CPU or this graphic card was not supported, so it did not run. I have also tried MSI Afterburner, but in this program sliders of core clock and memory clock are set to maximum and if I try to chage maximum number next to them and hit apply all these numbers I changed, set to default value like in the beginning. Is it possible that this graphic card is not overclockable?

Thank you for any advice.
PS I am sorry for my English

Not only is it possible, it's likely. Graphics cards in laptops are generally not recommended to be overclocked. Desktop cards can be overclocked because the case cooling and GPU coolers are capable of providing additional cooling capacity to offset the increased heat generated by the card when overclocked. Laptops do not usually, if ever, have this ability due to the design and fundamental space restrictions of the chassis. They almost always are already running borderline hot as is without overclocking. If you overclock and the fans cannot compensate you run the risk of ruining your rig.
