Alienware Graphics Amplifier - Overclock CPU (I7-4710HQ) in BIOS - Alienware 13/15/17 R1
Here I show you how to apply an CPU Overclock from the factory in the BIOS on my Alienware 15 w/ Graphics Amplifier connected. This successfully overclocks your CPU to 3.7GHz when one core is in use, 3.6GHz when two cores are in use, and if three or more cores are in use then it will level out at 3.5GHz. This is pretty good for games that are sometimes CPU intensive.
This option is probably available on ANY Alienware 13, 15, or 17 that are compatible with the Alienware Graphics Amplifier.
