Looking for a laptop fan to let me overclock my cpu

Go to solution Solved by TymmVonD,

Looking for a laptop fan so I may overclock my cpu at very safe temps. My laptop has a bottom air intake so I am looking for one that goes under the laptop, and was looking at the coolermaster X2 and X3, are there others that are better or are these godd build quality and have good cooling? I have a 15.6 inch laptop so I dont need a giant cooler.

Normally, I'd say,"Just NO". Don't do it. It's a laptop. But since it's your first post, welcome to the forum. 

 

The coolermasters are the best i've seen. I never overclocked my laptop, but I did have overheating problems and the coolermaster helped until I replaced the thermal paste, pads, and cleaned the fan and cooler fins.

the fan may help, but do not overclock it

it can not dissipate the heat

Even just a small overclock will overheat and kill proccesor?

I'm assuming you have an AMD based processor because there is not alot of unlocked Intel CPU's in laptops these days. Anyway using a laptop fan board or whatever will only help the temps by maybe 3 degrees. NCIx posted a video on it here https://youtu.be/T3zcat1-8D0 and Linus is in it

Of course only a small OC. I've OC'd a phone years ago and it ran fine, but was hot as hell in my hand, and probably diminished it's lifespan.

From what I can tell my laptop stays at a safe 45 degress celsius when not overclocked, so overclocking would overheat too much? It may just be a Cpu throttle keeping my laptop cool

What laptop do you have and what processor does it have?

I had an I7 2630qm i think and a GT555m and the GPU overclocked like a boss Cool if i had a Fan Blowing into it and it still overclocked good without the fan but ran very hot. I would say if its not running hot under 100% load not overclocked then go for it but if its hitting high temps already you'll probably just throttle it and only see benefits for a few seconds. its really comes down to how well your actual laptop handles the heat already and how well it can after the Overclock only way is to test it. Just make sure its dust free and the typical stuff to keep it being able to cool if its older maybe get some better thermal paste on there but doubt itll make much of a difference

Mobile CPUs are locked so you cannot OC them UNLESS specifically said so by the OEM

Load temps? Not possible. Try using Intel Burn test and tell us your temps
