What is safe or max temps for a laptop GPU (overlocked) ???

[CT-99 STRIKER]

So i've a HP 15 Omen and i decided to overlock the gpu (using msi afterburner) and i did run 3 tests with stock cfg and oc cfg, with OC i gained an extra 6fps from OC when compared to stock cfg.

i did ran Batman arkham knight benchmark in a total of 6 times in a row 3stock, 3oc and GPU max temp was 61ºc.

so 6 benchmarks runs and 3 with oc, 61ºc a good result to use GPU OC on this laptop? Also CPU was on Turbo Boost the whole time at 74ºc max.

100c

do not overclock laptops
most cannot
and they are limited by power delivery and cooling
if it will not hit max temp, its limited by the laptops power (hardware in the laptop, not the battery or brick)

100c for CPU or GPU or both? if for GPU than i guess OC my laptop GPU will do fine with such large margin i assume

I only OC for gaming and Plugged (never on battery) and as for cooling 6 benchmarks in row and 61ºc max and nonwhere i got near the power delivery margin.... CPU never gets over 74ºc on full load...

so far its stable and gains from 6-8% when on OC. i guess my HP Omen can handle it but i always dont mind asking around for further insight into the matter

Well I'd say 90 degrees is already so freaking hot.

But don't. Please...
I ever did do it to my laptop and I regreted doing it.

Laptops are really not capable of overclocking stuffs because it lacks of air ventilation system and overclocking can completely cut it's life clean off.
Even the most expensive laptops can barely handles the heat and leads to a blue screen crash.

It depends on how good your laptop ventilation.

my laptop never EVER got near that, not even on peak summer.... cpu max gets is 80ºc than gets stable on 74ºc on full load until i stop gaming, as for the GPU overlock the temperatures are the same after testing several demanding games, Oc and Stock same max temps BUT with OC i get a 6% fps boost.

I know the dangers but i guess my HP Omen gaming laptop has a better coling system than expected when i bought but the only negative side on this laptop is the false advertising of havig thunderbolt support

has been a year since i own and no crashes, no freezes, no bsod, nothing.....

100*C for both cpu and gpu but on most laptops they tend to thermal throttle around 90-95*C

I had a Geforce 610M (didnt even have GT/GTX prefix) back then & I OCed it cus it needed all the help it could. Thing lasted 6 years before the GPU broke. Laptop itself still runs. Go ahead

Except there is small difference between your 12w gpu and modern 155w gpus when it comes to heat.

Except even that gpu hit 90+ C during gaming. Still lasted 6 years

Laptops are fine as long as they maintain a temp below 100c. Overclocking a laptop sounds like a silly idea though. I certainly wouldn't be doing it to mine. Doing all of that for 6 fps? No way, not worth it at all. Go back to default before you kill your laptop.
What you really want to do is keep it cool. That way it will turbo boost efficiently. Run the balanced power profile so you can boost when the opportunity is there and throttle down when performance is not needed.
Laptops were never meant to be a gaming device where you chase after high fps and overclock. That's a quick way to destroy them.

Man people really are overclock-phobia. Ive seen even pcmasterrace big dongers be complete ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ whenever the word overclock is thrown their way.
Also isnt like OC give around 10-15% boost in performance which is kinda inline with the additional 6fps? You dont magically gain double the performance from overclocks.

IMO my overclock on my aging 1050 laptop enabled me to have a better experience playing Cyberpunk at a more constant 30fps with higher details than the standard Ps4. Something it couldnt do

Id actually like to know the percentage of how many gamers there are out there sporting unlocked Intel cpus with supported motherboards, or Ryzen owners, or XMP capable ram, or OC edition gpus, that just run them bone stock. I'd like to know because there are people out there with 144hz capable monitors & they didnt even change their settings to enable higher than 60hz in windows & I dont understand these people.

Dude, give it a rest. Overclocking is so played out and pretty much for posers at this point in time.
If you must know though, I run my laptop at bone stock no xmp or anything:

There you go, bone stock and still stomping the ♥♥♥♥ out of yours. Really, get over yourself. Overclocking is for benchmarks, competitions, performance comparisons and all of this is performed by professional enthusiasts because that's their jam. It's not for the freakin laptop steam gamer.

I decided to stick to stock settings and make a small tweaks on each game setting to compensate if needed. The temps when OC are under the safe limits but since nowdays getting hardware for desktops (gpus and such its mission impossible) and even laptops here is nearly the same... i will not risk for now brinking anything since its nearly impossible replace anything with the shortages going on for months already and i will not fill the pockets of scalpers.

So stock it is. Laptop wise, using FXAA or Changes Shadows from high to medium will gimme back those extra fps without risking my laptop life.

no more playing stardew valley with laptop with turbo boost ON and gpu OC to the limit!!! (this is a joke....)
