    I recently bought a Dell Inspiron 14z with following configuration:

    3rd Generation Intel® Core™ i5-3317u processor, Windows 7 Home Premium SP1 (64bit), 8GB 2 DIMM (4GB x2) DDR3 1600Mhz, 500GB 5400RPM SATA Hard Drive, 32GB Samsung mSATA Drive Intel® Centrino® Wireless-N 2230 Bios version A13

    I want to format & clean install Windows 7 Ultimate 64Bit on this laptop. In Bios, I set: 1. Hard drive to be "ATA" 2. Intel Smart Response Technology "Disabled" 3. Secure Boot "Disabled".

    Then when I partition my drives(80G, 140G, 246G),I load RAID driver from f6flpy-x64. Afterwards, I install my Win 7(through DVD). When win 7 installation is done, I then install chipset driver.

    From here I have my question:

    How do I install ISRT driver and accelerate my mSATA?

    You can't find anything because 99% of dells cannot be overclocked. They purposely disable this kind of capability in most of there machines and motherboards. I believe they only allow this kind of activity with some of their upper end XPS systems. There are reports of people getting certain models overclocked, but not easily and it varies.

    No, there is no official way to unlock the ability to overclock.

    Here is a great website and forum topic to check out and read. Someone wrote up a good post about this exactly:
