Upgrading an HP Pavilion 15 laptop
Upgrading an HP Pavilion 15 laptop
Hello,
I own an HP Pavilion 15 L3S53EA with an AMD APU A8 6410 2ghz CPU, an AMD Radeon R7 M260 2GB GPU and 8 GB of RAM.
I want to try overclocking the CPU and GPU if possible.
After using AMD OverDrive I received a notice that OverDriver can't detect my CPU.
I've also attempted BIOS overclocking but found nothing.
Can you help me with this?

Solution,idea anyone?
there is now real way. you will void your warranty.
it's not worth the time, and the very little increase you think you might get isn't worth the hassle.
there is the issue there. laptops (except for extremely costly high-end models) aren't designed for overclocking. They have a particular thermal limit, and the power supply is usually quite restricted. If makers permitted overclocking on standard laptops, who would want those premium machines!?
Unfortunately, you're being a bit misleading here, and an overclock won't help. You might manage to tweak the mobile graphics card, but I strongly doubt it will work.

Unfortunately, you're being a bit caught off guard, and an overclock won't help. You might be able to tweak the mobile graphics card, but I'm very skeptical about that.
I saw some people actually trying it, though I understand it's not really advised.
I bought the laptop from my parents and just want to get the most out of it.
There must be a solution! Please tell me!
