i have an asus X555UF laptop with the i5 6200U CPU and 930M.
i tried ocing the GPU up 100mhz and the temp stayed below 65c and didn't thermal throttle and thermals are never really a problem on this laptop. i wanted to know if there are any risks to running overclocked on a laptop that doesn't have to do with thermals (like the power supply or if the chip itself cant run at these speeds)
thanks!
 
Solution
Laptops have limited cooling abilities. Even if as you say, temps are not a problem, they could be affecting other components. Overclocking a laptop is not a good idea.
