One way to boost your laptop's performance is with an external graphics enclosure. Here are the best GPUs to give your laptop desktop-grade gaming power.
Sometimes you can get laptops with decent CPUs, but they only have onboard graphics
Sometimes you buy a system that physically can’t house the GPU you want, but the board/PSU is proprietary, so you can’t just change the tower/case.
Sometimes there are GPU heavy tasks that don’t really rely on CPU that much, and you are using a laptop.
But the vast majority of the time, sticking a new card in your desktop is the way to go.
Case design has come a long way, and I personally haven’t had an issue with case-temp since overclocking things in the early 2000’s,
But, if the desktop was built in a thin mini-ITX case, I could see case-temp being an issue, but I think you would most likely also being running into “can’t physically fit into the system” issue.

What about for the purposes of heat?
Wouldn’t it be beneficial to keep heavy duty gpus out of your PC just to keep the heat away from your other components?
