This will become my next laptop build. So I've started by selecting the CPU first. Jumped right to the top of the list and I think I'll go with the QX9300.

That being said, is this CPU feasible in ANY laptop short of an Alientware? Does anyone have a good recommendation for a laptop that

will house such a beast as the 9300? Thanks in advance. And I do plan on overclocking it with ThrottleStop, just like I'm doing right now from my

Lenovo T61p.

Laptops that fully support that CPU, there are blacklists in laptop bios files to prevent certain hardware from working, need proper cooling for them

We can deal with BIOS hacks if needed. I know cooling will be my biggest enemy.

All i can say is research research research.

If Laptops were built like the Inspiron XPS Gen1/9100 cooling wouldnt be a problem.
