    The laptop is i7-6700HQ, GTX-1060, 1080p IPS and the oversupply is 240W.
    I wanted to try an overclock my laptop display but I don't have the options in the Nvidia panel.

    Reinstalling doesn't help, I thought the problem might be because the laptop is running on integrated graphics while there are no games running but FN + F7 combo does nothing when I press it and when I disable the intel graphics from the device manager Nvidia panel doesn't open, so I got no other ideas.

    Also I plan to repaset the CPU and GPU because I notice the CPU especially reaches 94 degrees, I have coollaboratory liquid pro at hand and if it gives good results will it be possible to overclock a little the CPU and GPU ?

    It seems that you have Optimus. Display settings are in intel control panel.
