As the others mentioned, you shouldn't try to overclock laptops because of the fixed BIOS settings. Some gaming laptops can be slightly overclocked, but only by a small margin—around 10%. Once the voltages rise, it requires a significant amount of cooling, which is hard to achieve with typical solutions. Even cooling pads offer limited improvement, as proven in many tests. The fan and heatsink on a laptop CPU have their limits. If you aim for serious overclocking—like increasing by more than 10% (for example, 35%)—you should consider building a desktop PC instead.

Once the voltages rise, it requires a significant amount of cooling, which is hard to achieve with typical solutions. Even cooling pads offer limited help, as proven in many tests. The fan and heatsink attached to the CPU can only provide so much. If you aim for serious overclocking—like pushing beyond 10% (up to 35%)—you'll need a full desktop build.
Slow Pri questions the reason for overclocking a laptop. She believes it's not advisable and suggests doing it only if necessary, given the constraints of laptop cooling compared to a PC.
Any frame rate over 60 FPS goes unnoticed. What you receive depends on the product you purchase; if you desire higher performance, consider building a custom computer to achieve better FPS if needed. Otherwise, you may not meet your expectations at this moment.
