I’m thinking of buying a cheaper laptop that has Ryzen 7 in it. I’m the type of guy who only plays simple games that don’t require the latest and greatest machinery to operate. I just like dungeon crawlers, RPG maker games, and other simple concept games.
Safe? Yes.
It’s not like the thing will break if you demand a lot from it. At the very worst, if even throttling doesn’t help the computer to regulate temperature, what you will experience is an emergency shutdown.
I tried playing games so much more demanding than my hardware that I had 3 SPF… Not 3 FPS (frames per second) but 3 SPF (3 seconds per frame… Took 3 for one frame to render) the game was unplayable but PC was okay.
Reminds me of when I first tried to play Quake (I think? some old arena FPS) over dialup. I tried for a few minutes hoping my ping would even out. At one point I had ~4,500 ping. That’s 4.5 seconds between my input affection what I saw on the screen. Needless to say, I was often gibbed before I got to see my inputs manifest.
