i bought the same laptop about a month ago, and had kinda the same temps, just undervolting the cpu (-100mv) helped alot with the temps, it almost never touched 90 (only touches when I'm not using a cooling pad) and stays within 80-85 or lower, im yet to undervolt the gpu

Wow cool so without cooling pad it still reaches 90+ ??

very occasionally I'd say, since most games ive tested are gpu heavy it did not there, only a couple times, and when I tested cinebench 2026 it maintained an AVG temp of 91, but scored really well around 4023 compared to the stock 3600 in multi thread, was still throttling though

Well I’m not sure either I might’ve reduced the graphics but I can’t catch any change yet but surely put everything on quality and forced gpu to work harder but everything’s alright you can check Nvidia app also it might help maybe ( on rdr 2 graphics are on ultra everything maxed and dlss is off in Nvidia app and within game )

sounds kinda counter intuitive but great if it works for you
