I would like to overclock my gpu as running not very demanding games like borderlands 2 and battlefield 3 run at around 35 fps on low settings, and can drop under 30 while in a fight etc. while running these games my gpu useage is maxed out and has a temperature of around 55 degrees celsius and my cpu around 65. I've tried using msi afterburner and sapphire trixx but both do not allow me to overclock. While using a older version of sapphire trixx it actually allowed me to overcock but when I pressed aply it switched back to the main clock speeds. While inside the bios I couldn't find anything about my gpu or overclocking and I tried both official. versions of my bios released by Sony.
If anyone has an idea if overclocking my gpu is possible I would appreciate to know.

Specs:

Sony Vaio C series 14 inch
VPCCA15FG (asia)
Intel core i5 2410m
8GB ram (base 4GB)
intel hd graphics 3000 (integrated) 9.17.10.4229
amd radeon 6630m (dedicated) 15.200.1062.1004
1366x768

Overclock on a laptop? - - not a chance.

Overclocking generates more heat from the overclocked component. On a desktop PC you can mitigate that by fitting extra cooling fans inside the case. Obviously you can't do that on laptop so it would be constantly crashing & shutting down to prevent heat damage.

I understand, but while playing games where my gpu is under 100% load the temp stayes around 55 degrees C and cpu around 65 while under around 70% load. I am aware if the risks of overclocking with higher temperatures, but my laptop has been around 90 degrees in the past before I cleaned the dust and added new cooling paste, so I know it can deal with higher temperatures. I am also not planning on ging this high, but my gpu should be able to handle 5-10 degrees without a problem.
I believe sony doesn't allow overclocking gpu and cpu with their current bios and so I was wondering if there is a way around this.

I just found the solution. This is by enabling the unofficial overclock with msi afterburner. now running my clocks at 700/1100 from stock 485/800. I'm still searching of a way to increase voltage and fan speed manually but so far my fps has increased by around 30% while temps have gone up around 3-5 degrees.
