I am excited about learning how to overclock and modify my machines. I am not new to computers but I am new to the whole overclocking thing. Learning how to do this is what brought me to this forum. I am sure it will become a new obsession. (As if I didn't already have enough!! LOL!!) I just bought this Y 500 Levono last week and im already messing with it. I also have an ipad, and three phones that I have rooted and modified. I just cant leave things well enough alone. Anyway I am glad I found these forums, I am sure you guys will save my butt. A little more about me for what it's worth..... I am an amateur science buff. I am a Christian, I enjoy Hiking (backpacking) and outdoor survival type activities as well hunting, fishing and the like. For the past couple of years I have been making ultralight backpacking cook-stoves and lanterns as well as camping hammocks and fly-fishing equipment (Rods, reels, and flies). I own a small machine shop and a watch repair facility so I can build all sorts of fun stuff. Well that's enough rambling. Thanks again for the warm welcome!
