How to overclock a laptop?

Question

Iron

I have an Asus gaming laptop, 8 gigs of RAM, a Geforce GTX 850 m video card, an Intel Core i7 processor, but some games run slowly at maximum settings, as if the game does not freeze, but takes time, which causes the laptop to get extremely hot, I understand, this is a laptop , but the question is, is it possible to give the video card more power for games, for example, somewhere in its settings or somehow provide it with more energy, maybe it would be better to put the laptop on a stand with coolers and give it more cooling?

Answer 1

buy a special cooling pad, all pads have something like a cooling index. You can't buy a good stand in m-video-eldorado.
Change the thermal interface to a better one. I want to buy something similar
for myself. Then, in the power consumption settings in the "on line" mode, turn on maximum performance everywhere, in the video card driver settings the same way - turn on maximum performance everywhere. It happens that one option in the driver settings is enabled and it slows everything down.

Answer 2

- A laptop with an 850th card is not a gaming one.
- I do not advise you to play with overclocking on laptops
- The main problem of laptops in games is cooling, if you overclock a percent or a video card, yours will simply not be enough to cope with heat dissipation. And when there is overheating, then one fig all parameters will be automatically lowered. Although most likely yours is already not enough to play top games for a long time.
My friend has the same laptop only with an 860 card, one fig the same Witcher 3 runs fine only at medium settings. I have a computer i5 4670K + 770GTX card (already 2.5 years ago) - everything goes to ultra without problems. So next time think about what to buy for "GAMES" :)

Answer 3

During overclocking, heat dissipation increases and if it is weak (and on laptops it is weak), then throttling begins, and performance drops catastrophically.
In addition, your video card is weak (and the laptop is not gaming), no amount of overclocking it several times will make it work faster. A couple of tens of percent at most.

Answer 4

If you really want to, you can look in the direction of an external video card, but this is IMHO easier to assemble a system unit.

Answer 5

If you are already talking about the fact that the laptop is very hot, then think about upgrading the hard drive from a regular HDD to an SSD drive - these do not heat up as much as ordinary ones and are many times faster than ordinary HDDs. In addition, SSD drives consume less energy, which in turn is another plus for a laptop, albeit a gaming one.

Answer 6

It's all about the processor, you have an i7, which means it definitely has a Turbo Boost system. It automatically overclocks your laptop when the load increases, i.e. games, etc., but there is one BUT! If the temperature of the processor and the board generally reaches a critical value of 90-100 degrees, then the same Turbo Boost system itself personally slows down overclocking, up to braking, that is, below the clock frequency declared by the manufacturer, all in order to save your PC and prevent it from burning out. Yes, and as you said, the stand can really help, but you need to know what temperature you have in the game at the moment, if it is 70-80, then everything is normal; if 90-100, then the stand makes sense, but you also need to choose one that will be effective. And then buy, but she, too, will not be able to cope.
PS At the very laptop, I write from personal experience. I have a bad assembly of the laptop, so I have a temperature of 90-100 in games, and in order to cool it down, I probably need to fill in liquid nitrogen))) But you have Asus, I think everything is in order with the assembly and the stand can help you.
