Don't do it, it could destroy your laptop permanently (well most likely). Laptop heating and CPU aren't designed to be overclocked.

I tried overclocking the GPU of an older laptop with expired warranty but I haven't gained any FPS, the temperature of the laptop skyrocketed and there were artifacts in every game rendering them unplayable.

I strongly recommend not doing it. (Listen to me, I'm a Laptoprocker)

Son are you high? :D
Now on serious terms, yes it is possible to "overclock" but I definitely would not recommend to that on any laptop device. They usually tend to have a shitty heating system and this could cause serious damage or even completely destroy your laptop.

They do it on custom rigs, with real cooling systems, but don't do it yourself. Its hard enough to do it accurately on a laptop anyways, there really isn't any point.

Laptops aren't suitable for overclocking since they are extremely heating even on normal conditions. I don't recommend to do any kind of OClocking on your laptop.

as well as the heating issues above, I would also like to add that it probably voids your warranty as well.

Overclocking laptop is really risky, it can literally ruin your computer. Unless you have example Asus G75VM with 670MX graphics card which is made suitable for overclocking.

Hello Kamikaze, are you sure you want to burn it?
