I Have a Lenovo Ideapad 510 with a 940mx

The problem with it is that the max GPU temp. by default is 61 degree celcius only.

Is there any way i can Increase it, and if How.

Please help ASAP

Don't do it, you don't know why it was limited and raising the temperature limit may end up frying your laptop.

Don't ask to ask, just ask... please 🤨

Sauron'stm Product Scores:

Spoiler

Just a list of my personal scores for some products, in no particular order, with brief comments. I just got the idea to do them so they aren't many for now :)

Don't take these as complete reviews or final truths - they are just my personal impressions on products I may or may not have used, summed up in a couple of sentences and a rough score. All scores take into account the unit's price and time of release, heavily so, therefore don't expect absolute performance to be reflected here.

 

-Lenovo Thinkpad X220 - [8/10]

Spoiler

A durable and reliable machine that is relatively lightweight, has all the hardware it needs to never feel sluggish and has a great IPS matte screen. Downsides are mostly due to its age, most notably the screen resolution of 1366x768 and usb 2.0 ports.

 

-Apple Macbook (2015) - [Garbage -/10]

Spoiler

From my perspective, this product has no redeeming factors given its price and the competition. It is underpowered, overpriced, impractical due to its single port and is made redundant even by Apple's own iPad pro line.

 

-OnePlus X - [7/10]

Spoiler

A good phone for the price. It does everything I (and most people) need without being sluggish and has no particularly bad flaws. The lack of recent software updates and relatively barebones feature kit (most notably the lack of 5GHz wifi, biometric sensors and backlight for the capacitive buttons) prevent it from being exceptional.

 

-Microsoft Surface Book 2 - [Garbage - -/10]

Spoiler

Overpriced and rushed, offers nothing notable compared to the competition, doesn't come with an adequate charger despite the premium price. Worse than the Macbook for not even offering the small plus sides of having macOS. Buy a Razer Blade if you want high performance in a (relatively) light package.

 

-Intel Core i7 2600/k - [9/10]

Spoiler

Quite possibly Intel's best product launch ever. It had all the bleeding edge features of the time, it came with a very significant performance improvement over its predecessor and it had a soldered heatspreader, allowing for efficient cooling and great overclocking. Even the "locked" version could be overclocked through the multiplier within (quite reasonable) limits.

 

-Apple iPad Pro - [5/10]

Spoiler

A pretty good product, sunk by its price (plus the extra cost of the physical keyboard and the pencil). Buy it if you don't mind the Apple tax and are looking for a very light office machine with an excellent digitizer. Particularly good for rich students. Bad for cheap tinkerers like myself.

Generally speaking I would say to just not do it, but that does sound needlessly low.  Even still, you'll be going into uncharted territory so proceed at your own risk.  I don't suppose it's as easy as turning it up in MSI afterburner?

no it is not, 

is there any way to do this

 

I've never done this but it might be possible to flash a custom bios that allows it (either a system bios or a vbios on the GPU) but I'm in over my head on that now

No way to increase in laptop unless you flash the BIOS with some custom BIOS (which I don't think it exists)

Internet :P  Really though, I have no idea where you'd find that.  Best bet is to look on Google, but even then it's not likely to get you anything, and even if it does, it's sketchy and dangerous.  I would not necessarily recommend it, I'm just saying that's probably what it would take to do it, assuming it's even possible.

If your laptop has particularly poor airflow, it's possible an external fan could help push a bit more air through, but if it already has good fans I doubt you'd see much if any difference, and you have to watch out - a fair number of those kinds of products are useless or even detrimental.
