Hi I seem to be having issues oc this laptop with the a8 5550m es. I can oc this chip to 3.7 stable with a cpu volt of 1.2375 but as soon as I push the volts higher for a bigger oc it starts throttling the oc is stable but the throttling forces the cpu down to around 0.9. I also found a post from someone pushing a 4.0 stable oc with 1.267 but anything the 1.2375 just forces the cpu to throttle! I thought that the unlocked bios would perhaps help? Anyone know a way around this please? Thanks John

HA, I wonder how many people bought it believing that!

Hi, I have a MSI GX60 AC1 - I have replaced the cpu with the A8 5550m es and get oc up to 3.7 but I noticed if I try taking the voltage to over 1.237 then it throttles really bad, will the unlocked bios give me some options to work around this? Also if not anyone have any ideas on how I will be able to get around it, as I have noticed someone with same laptop and cpu get up to 4.0 with a volt of 1.267, but I really can't see how he got it so high. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
