I'm new to overclocking, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. The system is stable when playing Fortnite at 1080p, 60fps (limited to a maximum of 60fps) with all graphics settings maxed out. I'm also using an IETS GT500 cooling pad to reduce the temperature. Is this frequency safe for an HP Victus 16 s1023dx laptop with an RTX 4070? It feels "good," and I want to be sure. My concern is that while the core is at a cool 58°C, the VRAM modules could be much hotter, perhaps 90°C+, or even the VRMs or motherboard could be damaged. How can I tell if I'm pushing them too hard without a sensor? Are the VRAMs in 4070 laptops notorious for running hot, or are they robust?
For this specific laptop model, what's considered a safe daily overclocking limit for the memory (and core) before risking hardware degradation?
I also read that when overclocking is poorly implemented, a mechanism called OCC is activated to correct memory corruption. Is there any way to tell if that's happening?
Any information, experience with this specific laptop/GPU, or guidance on how to measure VRAM temperatures without a direct sensor would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks.
