AMD Richland mobile overclocking help needed

I recently bought a new laptop that has an A8-5557M APU but I'm having trouble finding a way to take the CPU cores past the stock 2.1ghz. I've successfully used K10 stat on an A6-3420M but the most recent version I can find is 1.54 from Aug 2011 and it when I try to use it on the Richland APU, it gives the following error: "Can't detect family 10h/11h/12h/14h processor". I've also tried AMD Overdrive which will work for undervolting but won't let me go higher than 2.1GHz. Any help is greatly appreciated.
 
The nice people over at overclock.net suggested PSCheck which seems to have done the trick. I found out that the normal p-states (P3-P0) are locked at 2.1 GHz and that I had to use the turbo p-states (Pb2-Pb0) to get to a higher clockrate. It lets me change the voltage too so I'll be able to tweak it exactly how I want it.
