    I've seen conflicting results with overclocking either the GPU or the CPU on the MS-1651 barebone. Has there been a final verdict on the ability to do either?

    Both can be done. CPU can be overclocked with the touch of a sensor, GPU must be done in Windows.

    I found it gets quite hot when I use the Turbo mode. HWmon said the cpu core got to 73C. The cheap cooling pad that works well on my brother's Inspiron 1520 has pretty much no effect on this notebook.

    After 1 hour of Orthos, my 20% OC goes up to 75C without cooler and stock voltage.. Does get a bit hot, but for a proc running at 3.03ghz, it's acceptable.
    Haven't tried GPU OC yet
