Wha About Just Bumping It Up From 2.00GHz To 2.10Ghz Could That Be Done?

your motherboard has to support it so check the bios for any overclocking features such as raising BLCK or multiplier. but once again, even a 100 Mhz bump could create a lot of heat depending on the voltage necessary to get it stable

do not overclock a laptop, they usually don't have the cooling to support the extra heat.

Hi, I am such a noob, how do i overclock a CPU? I have a Intel Core 2 Duo T7200 (Its Crappy, I Know). I use a laptop. Thanks!

 

Step 1.: You don't.

Step 2.: You don't overclock Laptops

Step 3.: You don't Overclock.

Step 4.: You don't overclock Laptops or anything other then a Pentium G3258 as a first time thing

Step 5.: You buy everything for the Pentium G3258, including the OC'ing warranty.

Step 6.: Fry the Pentium, then rebuy the warranty with the new CPU

Step 7.: Repeat from step 5

 

That is how you OC for Newbies.

CPU: Pentium G3258 @ 3.2GHz || GPU:(first release,used) MSI R9 270 OC || Motherboard:MSI Z97-G45 Gaming Motherboard || RAM: 8 GB G.Skill Sniper 1600 || Monitors: Vizio 22 in Ultra slim 1080p TV || Storage: Seagate barracuda 160 GB 7200RPM,(REFURB) 1TB toshiba 7200RPM || PSU: (stripped from 2013 CAD PC)Corsair CX600 build was under $420
