Battery life, gaming laptop

@Tigran_1126   If your cpu is unlocked, the model number will have the letter K at the end of it.

I've already explained why laptops don't come with unlocked CPUs if you go back and read my post again. Heat issues. No one else produces laptops that are overclockable either with only a few rare exceptions.

There is no way to "fix this". The cpu is not removable for one thing. Its hard soldered into the motherboard and you would have to incorporate a bigger heat sink that is not available.  Then there would be a bios limitation preventing it from working.   

Good luck.

Ok, Photoray002, but what about the operating frequency of my processor? (2.6 GHz - 4.5 GHz) Can a processor with sufficient load reach close to the maximum value of frequencies independently, without third-party efforts?

A system will Turbo Boost the CPU as its needed. Your CPU specs say its top speed is 4.1 GHz. So it will boost up to that amount when a really demanding task calls for it, like running a game.

My CPU is an 8700K. Right now I have 3 different streams running in a browser and two other programs running. My CPU is turbo boosting to 4.3. If I start up a game, it will boost to its max of 4.7.

BTW you will get different results from different programs that read CPU stats. One will tell you the CPU is running at a lower frequency that another one will. CPUz or HWInfo seem to work very well.
