Gpu clocks up to 7xx didn't seem to be an issue for my system when freebird was still around as an option, this isn't -just- random theory crafting based on nothing but gutfeeling. I played through half of xenoblade 2 with 15xx CPU and the 6xx gpu setting in handheld back then.
Now I know that's still just circumstantial, but I'm not going to blame anyone else if this should ever lead to more severe damage than having to replace a worn out battery. And I'll be happy to support their opinion in the future if I break my thing over it too. I'll gladly be that posterchild.
This is just not enough to confirm or infirm anything, but reports such as this help for sure.
Now, as for airflow, that seems overall less impaired undocked, without the warm guts of the dock in the way of one intake, I've put better thermal paste in my system too and with tesla, there's tools to check Temps while playing now too. I'm willing to risk running my system at the Temps it normally did before the paste replacement.
FYI, temps are never the problem (at least, on HOS), if you're interested, there should be some excels pinned on discord at channel #oc-discussion.
I'll freely admit that 'if you're responsible, you can do it yourself' is an argument that irks me because it doesn't make much sense and if it was a reasonable option to me, I wouldn't be here trying to argue at all. It's not like being able to do it myself reduces any supposed risks either. In a worst case scenario, I'd have wasted both money for a system and time to learn something I'll never need again.
"fuck off already" would've felt like a much more honest response.
From where I stand, it would be a lot more irresponsible for me to try and do this myself. People that know how this works seemingly have issues with that whole compiling stuff for no good reason. And I really have little interest to learn this type of skill either. I know that's my problem, which is why I've thrown money at it now (someone dm'd me).
We don't have any interest in giving you a version with removed limitations, for you just to run away with it. We're on temp, some kid is gonna do it anyway. That'd be different if you could compile it for yourself, since you do you. That, and if you ever contributed back motived changes to sys-clk it would benefit all users and not just you, but that would require knowledge of the intervals (documentation we had present on discord at #oc-discussion, ex: charts done by CTCaer, reading the TRM, etc). That's not perfect as you said, someone could just dm you a build, but we believe the change to be so simple and obvious that's good enough. (see the post above for that too)
tl;dr: bring new stuff to the table, and that implies at least minimal coding knowledge
