It doesn't support any mobile chips.


Makes sens though. Overclocking APUs in laptops is much more trickier and riskier than desktop CPUs, especially that the optimal settings have already been tuned by the OEM and locked in firmware based on known thermal and VRM power design limitations, so overclocking won't get you any gains anyway but might brick your system.

If you really do want to tinker with your laptop APU in less risky ways, try this:

UXTU is unfortunately not very well written. I actually have a commit on this repo (actually the handheld version because for some reason, that's a hard fork) to stop it from leaking process handles (a resource that can't be reclaimed on Windows, except with a reboot)... and it adds up fast since UXTU runs `powercfg` every 2 seconds or so.


Interesting. Thanks for the heads up.
