Hello,

I have an acer laptop and i want to know if i can overclock it.
Its a aspire es1-432-C50U it has an intel celeron N3350
And intel hd graphics 550
i already tried to overclock my gpu and it didnt work i tried with msi afterburner and i cant move the sliders can i fix this ?

I can run games like minecraft super good with this laptop i get a 70-250 fps on 720p but i want to play other games with higher fps

No you cant overclock that laptop. Acer's bios will not allow overclocking. It is also a bad idea to overclock any laptop they just dont have the extra cooling to handle any extra heat from overclocking.

You shouldn't even if you can. You don't have a dedicated GPU, you have integrated graphics inside the cpu I don't think you can overclock an integrated gpu certainly not on a laptop. As for overcloking the cpu it would be done in the bios if it even lets you, if it does you shouldn't. Most laptops can barely keep themselves cool at stock clocks never-mind with an overclock, it would likely throttle if you did which would result in worse performance than if you kept it stock.

I am pretty sure you can't overclock that and shouldn't overclock any laptop due to the lack of efficient cooling.
That is a dual core CPU, clocked at 1.10Ghz, with Burst up to 2.4Ghz.
Now, burst and turbo is the same, except for one big difference.
Burst only provides the extra power for short intervals(a few seconds), on-demand, while Turbo, provides it all the time when the CPU is under the limit(power consumption, temperature).
What I'm trying to say, is that CPU cannot run the least demanding games.
The GPU is equal to an Nvidia GeForce 8000 series, not the higher ones. Somewhere in the middle.
Cheap laptops are usually meant for daily use and maybe MS Office.
