Since I can only achieve 50 FPS in some games, but these jump to 60 more often and this causes a lag, I would like to limit my monitor to 50hz.
This is possible in the Intel HD settings by simply creating a custom resolution and specifying a hz number, but is this safe?
If your laptop is cooled enough, I would say it isn't dangerous
Just limit the in-game FPS.
In any case, it is not harmful if you lower the Hz of your monitor.
Why should I need more cooling when the standard refresh rate is 60 Hz?
The game does not have this function.
Then try your own way before it gets too complicated.
