Would it be wise to boost your laptop's performance?
Current specs: Intel core i3 4030u at 1.90GHz, 2GB graphics, 8GB RAM, with fans for cooling.
External fans included.

I question your ability, and if you do manage it, perhaps you shouldn't, since most laptops become quite warm even at their default speeds, let alone with an overclock.

It's not possible to exceed the maximum performance of that CPU.

It's not feasible to overclock laptops because they aren't designed for it, and most users won't be able to apply overvoltage or overclocking. Even with specialized hardware or software, the risk remains high since laptops have limited cooling and power capacity.
