Safe to overclock my current CPU?

[Malthe]

Hey guys!
I wanna know if it is safe to overclock my CPU (Intel Core i7 6700HQ @ 2.60GHz), to 3.50GHz.
My temperature is current around 40 °C.
My PC is a Lenovo Ideapad Y700 (Laptop).
Do you need more information about my PC?

Why would you overclock your laptop? I wouldn't ever recommend this. If it was as PC I'd say do it because there are different cooling options while a laptop is very very limited.

I would be interested in knowing how you intend to overclock a laptop. Most (if not all) laptop BIOS's don't have options that will allow overclocking.

As the others said, you cannot overclock laptops due to the locked BIOS. There are gaming laptops that can be overclocked, but they only allow a very mild overclock like 10% or so. It takes a *LOT* of cooling once voltages start increasing, and laptops due to small form design do not have much of it. Even cooling pads do not help much as has been shown in countless tests. The fan and heatsink over a laptop CPU can only do so much.

If you want to get into serious overclocking like above 10% (you are talking 35%), you need to build a desktop PC.

Because i would like more fps, in CS:GO and H1Z1 King Of The Kill

Any FPS above 60FPS is unnoticeable. You get what you get with what you bought, if you seek more go build a computer and seek for more FPS if that's what you want. Otherwise you won't get what you want right now.
