Does anyone know anywhere that can overclock your computer or laptop for you or that offers some kind of overclocking service, preferably in london but open to other areas.
Don't do it. There are plenty of safer ways to speed up your pc.
More RAM.
Running msconfig. Search on net for how to use.
Disable any services not needed. Search on net for each ones use for doing this.
Switching to classic mode and disabling any special effects in Windows.
Free up space on hard drive.
I have a 2.4 ghz intel core 2 duo that i'm trying to get up to around 3 to 3.5. that would make a difference wouldnt it? I need the extra processing power to speed up some applications i'm using eg. 3d rendering. No i'm not willing to invest in any liquid cooling equipment and dont know enough to risk doing it myself
Ok guys I get the message (tail between my legs). you've said enough to scare me off it. I think i will just get rid of all software and applications except for the ones i need the laptop for. Probably not worth the risk to overclock it, I love my laptop. Thanks for the advice guys
Here's an idea. HDDs are pretty quick to swap on a laptop so get your self another one and install your O/S on that. It will run pretty well as quick as the processor can. Only install the 3D rendering program. When finished put the other HDD with all your normal stuff on it.
HDDs are pretty cheap nowadays. You can put your spare HDD in a caddy and use it as a backup storage.
