They got sued over this not that long ago (G80). Running a gpu past its thermal limits would do such a thing.
How does that have anything at all to do with my post? Please explain this to me.
If I remember rightly, this had more to do with NVidia lying about TDP, the industry as a whole switching to a new type of solder, and laptop manufacturers using cooling systems that weren't up to the task in the first place (partly because NVidia lied about TDP).
Did all those laptops fail because the users added +5-10% to the clock speed? No...
My point was increasing clockspeed to the limit of stability on stock voltages has little to do with heat output and it's basically free performance that this thread suggests NVidia wants to take away from you.
I doubt they do run cooler than my GTX660, but that is not the point. There is no space in a notebook chassis for much cooling. They more heat they generate, the bigger and louder the fan. Everything has limits. I dont see why you think you should know them better than the engineers who built them.
There are trade offs with notebooks, accept them!
Wait a minute, is this another post talking about the things I've just aired my massive frustrations about?
Seriously, go bench the gaming laptops you clearly own and know lots about and do some benches with clockspeeds at stock, lower and higher and report the heat output.
What will make more of a difference to heat output than overclocking at stock voltage is turning the heating up in your house.
So you heard it here first: Do not try to run your gaming laptops in any environments that the engineers have not cited them to run in. Better to be safe than sorry as these GPUs are running at near limits and running your heating will probably lead to your laptop exploding in about 6 months!!!!!111
And, no, I don't know them any better than the engineers who built them. But I understand the basics of how these chips operate, and increasing the clockspeed at stock voltages will not lower the life of your laptop by very much. And if you were that concerned for the long life of your laptop, you'd be running it above a large cooling pad with replaced TIM, which I doubt most people are doing...
