I am using an MSI SWORD GF66 A11UE.
Due to the normally very high temperatures, I've been trying to underbolt my i7-11800H laptop using Throttlestop. In doing so, some people say it's okay to set iccmax to the maximum it can be set to, while others say that maxing out iccmax can be harmful to my laptop. What is iccmax and what should I set it to for reliable underbolting (default is 105)?

What is iccmax
That is the amount of current that can flow through your CPU.

others say that maxing out iccmax can be harmful to my laptop
That is possible. No one in this forum has ever reported any problems after setting IccMax to the max.

what should I set it to
I prefer setting IccMax to the max. Leave it as is if you are worried that setting IccMax too high might break your laptop.

I would enable Speed Shift in the ThrottleStop TPL window. This Intel feature helps improve light load performance. Speed Shift Technology (SST) allows the CPU to reach maximum speed much quicker compared to the previous SpeedStep CPU control method.
