How many of you guys are overclocking in a laptop? I have an alienware 17 with a i-8750h in it and I am thinking about pulling it and putting in a 8700k or a  9700k with the intention of overclocking but I'm concerned about heat. Im fine spending the money of the cpu but only if I will actually be able to take it past standard clock speed.

Yeah sorry you won't be doing that, the CPU is soldered to the motherboard. 

I WILL find your ITX build thread, and I WILL recommend the SIlverstone Sugo SG13B

 

Primary PC:

i7 8086k - EVGA Z370 Classified K - G.Skill Trident Z RGB - WD SN750 - Jedi Order Titan Xp - Hyper 212 Black (with RGB Riing flair) - EVGA G3 650W - dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora Linux - Black and green theme, Razer brainwashed me.

Draws 400 watts under max load, for reference.

 

PSU tier list

How many watts do I need?

PSU misconceptions, protections explained, group reg is bad

Really? I was digging around online and in one of the videos I saw it showed them popping off the cooler and puling the chip. If it is soldered than ya its not going anywhere. I guess Ill have to yank it apart when I have time and investigate

Laptops that can exchange CPUs are old and/or rare, so not common nowadays

Maybe I mistakenly watched a video of a previous gen, if thats the case then it is what it is. Ill pull it to double check anyways because I just wanna pull it apart to poke around inside at the design anyways but thanks for the input on it.

they solder it with BGA. its technically possible but very very rarely works. your only option to get more performance is undervolting.

 

checking for a hacked bios to unlock the multiplier is also an option (not recommended as its *VERY* risky)

Not even the same pin count, 8750H has 1440 contacts while 8700k only has 1151 contacts.
