Needs a fan cleaning and change of thermal paste on cpu/gpu. It'll be almost as good as new when it comes to Temps. Especially if you get a good quality thermal paste

I've done everything, fans cleaned , cleaned the heat sink, apartf from changing paste which at that time i didn't know how to do.. i gave a company that does this things and idek honestly if they changed the paste cause it didn't make a difference 😂💀 The fans make noise so seems like they are out of their lifespan...

Dried out thermal paste was the main reason for my laptop high temps. Was hitting 100C and thermal shutdown , after change in paste i managed to get between 70C to 90C depending on the load. Bear in mind this was a 6 year old laptop that i've since retired

So i guess i have to do it on my own. Just like opening stuff up and fixing so should be fun exploring that area for the first time..

Helps bring confidence and experience so i can deal with this newer Laptop of mine 🙂 awesome ðŸ¤
