Furiz Posted July 19, 2021 Share Posted July 19, 2021 As long as it is not overheating it will be fine, to check that you can use HWMonitor for example. Your CPU shouldn't go over 90 degrees celsius, it can withstand more but keeping it under 90 is a generally a good idea;P P.S. consider upgrading if you can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eldur Posted July 20, 2021 Share Posted July 20, 2021 I've seen people overclock that thing in excess of 4GHz, but that needs a decent cooler and you shouldn't volt it past 1.45 if you'd considering OCing yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACME_WIdgets Posted July 22, 2021 Share Posted July 22, 2021 I use an older e6850 at 2.9Ghz only 2 cores. FYI, remove the bottom cover, and prop the laptop up about 1 inch and it will run 15-20C cooler.
