Some laptops require a battery to be installed, even if plugged in.
You have the means to try it.
Laptops running on battery need to conserve energy.
They will run at less than 100% cpu capability, and may use integrated graphics instead of stronger dedicated graphics.
Yes, running at 100% and using discrete graphics will increase heat generated,
Ok got it. But do you think limiting the fps on games will put less strain on my cpu? I wass planning to do so, I don't really need max fps if my cpu is getting hotter than Mia.
Not to worry about damaging your cpu.
It will slow down or shut off if it detects a dangerous temperature.
That is around 100c.
Laptop fans get clogged with dust; you need to occasionally check that .
Your call as to the usage vs. fps issue.
