upgrade the performance of the Acer Predator G9-591-70hu laptop using a 970m power supply.
I was curious about whether it's possible to overclock my Acer Predator laptop. I understand that generally this isn't recommended for laptops, but the cooling system on these devices is quite strong and performs well under stress. Would it be feasible for a minor improvement?
Please note this carefully;
I don’t suggest proceeding with this.
Monitor temperatures constantly... there are software tools you might consider that could enable clock adjustments, though I haven’t tried making one myself, so I won’t advise on specific programs.
Good luck.

Yes, it seems that doing an overclock would cancel any warranty coverage.
When my laptops were under stress in unigine Valley or cinebench, the GPU reached a maximum of 58c with fans running at half speed and dropped to 49c when the fans were at full speed on a tabletop at a room temperature of 20 degrees. Were these temperatures quite consistent? Could pushing the overclock be feasible?
Further disclaimer... Heat is not the only concern here (although on a laptop it is a primary concern). There is the very real possibility of bricking the laptop by sending additional current through components not designed for it. I'll suggest working in baby steps and trying not to adjust voltages. Check stability and heat constantly.
IMO, the risk to the laptop and components isn't worth the slight increase in performance (just a personal thought) but my curiosity is peaked here so let me know how it goes (if you do decide to try it)
