Overclocking the processor and RAM

[daniil1734]

Hello, I have an AMD-A8 7410 2.2 ghz processor, the official website of the laptop says that overlocking up to 2.5 ghz is possible. Also, the RAM should work at 1600 mhz, but the CPUID shows that it works  at 800 mhz (Initially there were 2 strips for 4 and 8 GB, now only 8). How can I overclock these components, i tried the amd overdrive program, but it gives an error: "AMD overdrive failed to start", tring to find something in the BIOS, but there is no overclocking tab.

On the memory DDR3-1600 actually runs at 800 mhz but counts as 1600 due to double data rate...processor draws data from the RAM twice on every clock cycle. So nothing to overclock there. Overclocking a laptop processor is very foolish to do and rarely works in any event.

Very sad, but thanks for the info. And another question, how to connect 2 hard drives or ssd? there is additional JODD connector on the board , in Russia they do not sell such a cable anywhere.

Not sure what you have in there now. Generally you can have a single storage drive in there. This is the applicable Service Manual.
