Ah, okay. Thanks for the help! One more question if you don't mind, cause I forgot to ask about this as well. When playing games on a laptop, there's a difference between playing it plugged in and unplugged, where as it obviously runs games better when plugged in. The Nvidia driver thing even has different optimization options for plugged/unplugged gameplay. Is it bad to just leave it plugged in all the time when gaming then even if it's already at full charge, because otherwise I see no reason to ever really play any games with it unplugged if it won't run as well as when plugged in. I don't want to damage the laptop or battery or anything by leaving it plugged in all the time though. (if that's possible I mean lol, like can it overheat?). 

I'd look into a cooling pad for your primary gaming area. Charging the battery can make it hotter but so long as you're not careless the performance gains are worth it. Just unplug it when you're done gaming/charging/shut down to avoid battery damage.

I was adding that into my previous comment while you replied to it lol, but yeah I do have a cooling pad with 4 fans directly underneath my laptop. It plugs into the laptop itself to turn on. My main worry is somehow the laptop getting damaged and the hardware degrading/not performing as well as it should be due to it or something to where some point down the line it can't run games as well as when I first got it. Is that possible in anyway?  It's why i'm so worried about somehow damaging it by leaving it plugged in too long when i'm gaming or not or something or it overheating.
