How about using one of these https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=external+power+button&_sacat=0

The iGPU can eat 30w. About 28w at idle

I remember intel didn't release HK processors before 6 gen. But I think it is able to overclock a HQ processor if you have a capable BIOS. Although that won't appear on a laptop due to the thermal limit

yeah i think that may be too tight and don't want to break my motherboard so

So this is what you never saw before. And you can't even image this will work. This is a i7 4980HQ whit LGA1150 socket. It looks like a sandwich. And it is so thick you need to add that metal ring to the screw to close the cpu cover. This is what it looks like when installed. That shiny top cover is so beautiful. The motherboard I am using is ASRock z87 iCafe4. This CPU won't work with a Gigabyte motherboard because it doesn't support the CrystalWell CPU(which is using HD5200 iGPU). So it boot up normally. I overclock it to 4.2Ghz, and get the same baseline score as 4790K. Although it was a laptop version 4790K. While running p95, it eat over 120W power even i disabled the iGPU. I get about 160W maximum when combine stress. I only have a 400w PSU so I didn't try to overclock to 4.5Ghz but by the comment from other buyers, it is easy to overclock it under 4.6Ghz. So is this thing make sense? I paid for about 1159 CNY ( 184 USD ) and a 4790K sell for 1750 CNY ( 278 USD ) in China . So it is cheaper and with a better iGPU, I think it can be a great deal. Most importantly, the seller says they are using Liquid Metal inside, not a normal thermal paste. By the way, I am using a normal desktop DDR3 DIMM, and a SODIMM to DIMM DDR3 adaptor is only cost 22CNY which is 3 USD. And you can find many cheap laptop ddr3 memory, so if you have an LGA1150 motherboard this will be a best upgrade. Leave me comments if you have anything want to test. For reference, a BGA to PGA modded 4980hq is 820CNY, this mean I paid 300CNY for this mod.
