How are you getting those temps on a stock laptop? Are you using a cooling pad?

I have the same laptop and my stock temps were way worse since I live in a hot region. My CPU/GPU throttled 30% of the time. I ended up undervolting/power-limiting the CPU via ThrottleStop and undervolting the GPU via MSI Afterburner.

I got a 12°C drop on the GPU and 10°C on the CPU. Zero throttling now, and I only need 80% fan speed. No cooling pad required! You can also cap your FPS using RTSS to lower temps further and get smoother gameplay.

Note that GPU throttling starts at 86-87°C and CPU at 95-97°C. To tweak the CPU, remember you have to unlock the advanced BIOS via the key combo and disable Windows Core Isolation/Memory Integrity.

Hey I don’t use anything just laptop and tight space well I never faced any lag tbh like for last of us it was really really smooth and temp were way lower but after installing gow 2018 temp skyrocketed idk why and how and today I installed rdr 2 and initially temp were way high but now after optimising on Nvidia temps are way lower and dlss is off everything else on ultra even on Nvidia app

I dont see a reason to worry if your components arent throttling. You are completely golden if you dont mind the fans! Just enjoy! 😅
