Hi,
I start this thread to report and compare G50v performance, and maybe help myself and others to troubleshoot/tweak this baby. I think this laptop has a lot more potential than we see
It seems possible to overclock only FSB/CPU using SetFSB software. Geforce clocks seem to stay the same, and laptop seems stable (several reboots and benchmarks using a 305Mhz FSB). Throttling is working (304<FSB<320), and CPU is switching to 900 MHz (FSB 150) on battery.
