Posted October 11, 2018 GPU yes, cpu you cannot increase clock speed.

I agree. plus even if you do overclock your going to run into thermal and power limits as laptops aren't meant for that and its not really worth the risk and time on laptops.

Either because the manufacturer didn't allow for it through BIOS, the CPU isn't unlocked, hitting thermal limits, or hitting power limits. You have 230W to play with, including having enough to spare for battery charging which will probably take at least 20-30 watts on its own. I have a blog!

Overclocking can add instability and if done wrong with the wrong cooling can damage the hardware Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted October 11, 2018 Laptops were designed with both thermal and power limitations in mind. Certain brands of "gaming" laptops allow for some overclocking but as someone else already pointed out its usually only for GPUs, due to their larger design allows for more cooling. That's why you can pay thousands for a laptop but a PC that's costs substantially less can be more powerful since its does not have the same thermal limitations.

As for the hitting limit, I am planning to have Liquid Metal for extra cooling. And for the power what if I use 330W instead of 230W is possible?

Thanks for your response If you can find a compatible power supply then probably. But there's the question of if the power delivery circuitry can handle it. If we assume 200W is the most the system needs, then you're asking for the existing circuitry to handle 33% more power, which it may not be capable of doing so I have a blog!

Posted October 12, 2018 Let me tell you a thing: DON'T bother with overclocking in laptops. What you should do first is try to lower the hardware temps so that you won't encounter any throttling and prolong hardware life. Undervolt CPU and GPU.
