You can't overclock a laptop. Just leave it where it is.

Laptops run pretty hot. If it's even possible that your hardware is unlocked, it's not recommended. There may be a way to software OC. Expect no more than a .2 GHz OC.

Since its a laptop, I wouldn't overclock it as it will produce lots of heat. Tried overclocking a laptop (pentium dual core) from 1.7 to 2.0ghz and the temps during the stress test were around the 90s which isn't really good imo.

Its not. The intel mobile cpu's run up to 95-100C. I was freaked when I saw my macbook air go to 100C, but it turns out that 95C is within Intel spec.

 

They might say so, but if you run at 95c all the time? It ain't gonna last long. I expect to see a lot of dead I7 laptops in the next few years. :(

 

Ivy laptop I7's ran to hot and many of them broke when used for gaming, Haswells are stupidly hot. I wouldn't render on either, which makes the I7 on a laptop kind of pointless to be honest. I have no idea why they sell them with clocks as high as they do. They should just sell low clocked I7's and higher clocked I5's for gaming. I barely use hyper threading or see an advantage on a desktop I7 outside rendering, I have no idea why you would need it on a laptop.

Now if they clocked them with a high of 2.5ghz? An I7 might be pretty awesome for next gen gaming on a laptop and run pretty cool. I would take 15 degrees cooler over 1 fps... :)

Technically speaking, you can OC a laptop, but 99% of the time you shouldn't, not to mention that it will be quite limited. The only time when you may is when your laptop has a beast cooling system like the Alienware or the Eurocom laptops do. Some time, when I was still using regularly my Asus G51JX it was reaching 85C, while gaming. I overclocked the processor just to see who temps will rise and I found out that even without running a stress testing program like Prime95, the laptop was running above 93C, while gaming on it. So yeah, don't overclock. 

 

PS: If you still want to do it there is a program called Throttlestop, which allows you to force the CPU turbo frequency to be the default one, so to speak. Just make sure to add it to startup programs. :)
