AMD 780G Chipset Overclock Help

Forum Overclocking : AMD AMD 780G Chipset Overclock Help

Word :    Username :           
 

Hello,
Ok, i have an AMD 780G Chipset with an integrated Radeon Hd 3200. Ive seen a lot of people overclock these little things up to 90% gain and have them stable. Only problem is that i cant seem to find something to overclock mine with. Amd overdrive wont let me overclock with it. And no other video card overclocking software i can find will either. This is an acer aspire 5517. But that shouldn't matter because the chipset is unlocked for overclocking. Is there any combination of keys to unlock certain bios features on this thing? Any help would be apreciated.

More than likely there's a feature on auto that needs to be set to manual, it would help others to help you, by supplying the brand and model # of the M/B in question as there are a few M/Bs sporting the 780G chipset, and there will be BIOS differences between the brands.

Since it's a laptop that does matter, the chipset may be unlocked for operating system overclocking but not manual BIOS overclocking.

If it has anything to do with Thermaltake, it's a BAD IDEA.
