Hello,
I'm really struggling to use my old laptop for Warzone right now. The temperatures are extremely high—often reaching 92°C.
My laptop details:
Windows 10 64-Bit, 16GB RAM, i7-6700HQ CPU @ 2.60GHz (8 cores), ~2.6GHz.
Model: Lenovo Ideapad-Y700.
I'm currently overclocking with MSIAfterburner:
Core Clock (+): +120, Memory Clock (+): +250.
There are few tutorial videos about safe overclocking levels and stopping points, but I've noticed that running the GPU at such high temperatures can cause serious damage.
Is it safe to continue like this, or should I make adjustments?
Thank you!

Honestly, I wouldn't bother with that mobile GPU. The performance boost you'll get isn't worth the trouble, the extra heat, or the fan noise. It's just not worth it.

92c is too warm. It might reduce the lifespan of your GPU.
I don’t recommend overclocking a laptop. Thermal management isn’t sufficient, especially when it’s already overclocked.

Certainly noted, appreciated the guidance—I’ll refrain from further overclocking now!
