Is overclocking my pc safe?

[Itz.Flowers]

I have a 2015 razer blade, and I was wondering if overclocking it was safe since it normally runs at around 85c under full load. I don't care about how hot the keyboard gets as I use an external one. What would be considered "safe" overclocking wise, and do you have any tips on how to make it run cooler?

nope

how to make it run cooler?

your laptop has a poor thermal design, you can undervolt using XTU, clean the fans, repaste it, not much you can do.

No. Don't overclock laptops. 

 

You can clear out dust and could try a cooling stand if you're using it at a desk.

Even if you do overclock, you probably will run into a wall of thermal problems before getting any significant improvement.

The Asus high end one with water cooling sure

BIOS wouldn't let you even if you tried.

In my experience I have overclocked a Mobile GPU (Not too old) but it was an AMD Laptop and it ran hot (85-93 when stressed and 72-80 with a 4000RPM fan). Technically you can. Should you? No. Why? It seems your laptop does not have sufficient cooling. Is overclocking safe? Yes and no. If your temperature is safe (under 95 Celsius CPU and GPU) then yes. Remember that overclocking requires to be stable, and to be stable it needs more energy so it needs more volts. How to make it cooler? There are A LOT of ways. I will start with the most safe to the most "Dangerous": Cooling pad, USB or external Computer Fan(Running minimum at 800RPM), Clean dust, Change thermal paste and Mod heatsink. How can I overclock it? GPU: MSI Afterburner, CPU: Intel Xtreme Utility, iGPU: Intel Xtreme Utility.

85C is pretty much hitting the thermal limit for both CPU and GPU already, you don't want to push more unless you want it to die early.

 

And Razer laptops have been known for dying early...

I wouldn't overclock especially if your temperatures are hitting 85C under load.

Considering Razer laptops often have issues performing to spec Overclocking your system seems like a good way to kill it without actually gaining any performance (since it would likely throttle before your OC kicked in).

 

If anything you want to Undervolt and Underclock your system.
