My notebook specs:

HP DV6-6177EE
Core I7 2630QM
HD 6770M swicthable graphics
8GB DDR3 1333Mhz

Can do I overclock that Intel CPU? What software to use?
I've searched but no results.

It's actually weird that the GPU is overclockable while the CPU is not.

    May I ask you why you need to over clock an i7 processor? I down clocked my because of heat and still playing all new games in ultra resolution.

    If you feel your notebook is too cool, you could also introduce additional heat with a Bunsen burner (or similar).

This is not necessary, your processor has the Turbo Boost technology:

Intel® Turbo Boost Technology 2.0 automatically allows processor cores to run faster than the rated operating frequency if they’re operating below power, current, and temperature specification limits.

  • Yeah, and that was pretty silly in my case. As I played a games with a lot of floating point operations, turbo goes on and brings the temperature to 100 degree with 23 % overheat. So my PC just turns off every time.
