    A few questions
    I have a MSI MS-16F3 that I bought from powernotebooks .com . I'm looking for a service manual or some point of component reference so that I can find where the wireless card is. I want to swap out my Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 2230 wireless card for a dual band card. I have no idea where the card is located. Does anyone here know?

    Also, is there a way to overclock the intel i7-3720QM processor that the notebook came with.

    Today I went to the powerpro link that powernotebooks provides to the MSI support site but it appears the link takes you nowhere or the site is down. I was going to look for updated drivers and bios Is there another place to look?
