You can turn off the GPU, not the CPU, as it's likely already restricted. However, I wouldn't suggest using a laptop for long because of poor cooling—it would create even more heat. A laptop is generally designed to handle heat better at its original setting.

The cooling systems for laptops and notebooks aren't built to handle temperatures beyond the CPU's maximum power dissipation. Exceeding this could cause overheating, leading to throttling which negates the benefits of overclocking.

Usually, not so much when heat becomes a problem.
