How much should I overclock a potato pc (to run fortnite)

[OnlyCS]

I have a potato pc. I want to overclock the cpu/gpu (whatever is necessary) to make it able to run fortnite. Specs below:

 

Core i5-6200U (2.3ghz)

Intel hd graphics 520

8gb ram idk how fast it is, but its slow

 

For proformance on fortnite, I want at least 720p resolution, 33.3fps

I have a 1080p screen btw.

It's more about what the mobo can do, than anything else you listed...

But you didn't list the mobo.

I think you're s*** out of luck there buddy.

 

I'd recommend finding a small part time job, and saving up some cash to buy something dedicated to playing games.

You have a laptop. Absolutely zero overclocking is going to be happening lol.

Yea, it's never too young to work. Big chain stores often hire workers under legal age it's fine as long as your parents sign off, if you're over 14 there's literally no reason why you shouldn't have a job.

CPU, cannot be overclocked (only K models from Intel can). GPU, you don't have any since its IGPU. Cannot be overclocked. You probably can't even access BIOS, and I doubt Intel Xtreme Tuning Utility is any help either. Besides, your cooling would not be able to keep up anyway.

Yes I can access bios

Isn't the HD 520 a GPU?

Also yes I have a Laptop, lenovo ideapad 300s

HD 520 is the integrated GPU on the same die as the CPU. Its great for office PCs and light tasks but by no means will you be able to overclock it.
