Is overclocking the Touchpad dangerous?

Z Overlord · 08/29/2011, 06:56 PM

I mean unless the only reason why the CPU wasn't 1.5GHz to begin with was to prolong batter life, isn't overclocking the Touchpad a bad idea?

I mean it sounds like such a bad idea

Read the risks and make your own decision. There are threads all over the internet and even on this forum that go over the risks of overclocking.

If you're stable and notice minimal battery impact, then i say NO.
I've OC'd all my hardware for years. Worst case is typically a crash or lockup that you simply recover from and turn down the OC.

DOOOOOOO EEEEEEEEEEET!

I think my problem is true difference not technical
I know the OC would be faster on tests but in real life I doubt the difference is that much
OC puts stress on the processor
use more battery
more heat

I believe the patches I used from preware made a noticeable 30% increase in response / speed hyper cards remove ripple increase sensitivity these did help alot

Just remember it only cost you $99-$149 lol. I've done a lot more brutal overclocking to my $350 graphics card.

True but OCing PC hardware is in it's veins, idk about a space constrained touchpad.
