    I'm assuming that's what the "turbo" modes are about in the console. Any harm in doing this? Not worth it? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    Go for it. Just make sure you are plugged in to AC power :)

    No harm really, just more heat, check out the G50 owner's lounges and the overclocking threads for other people's results and tips.

    There's no immediate harm, but I wouldn't leave your laptop in turbo/turbo extreme mode all the time. In terms of gaming, you probably won't notice any difference as gaming relies mostly on GPU. However, if you perform other CPU intensive tasks such as photoshopping, HD video encoding, etc, you should be able to tell more of a difference there.
