CPU heats up so much rather than the GPU on my Helios 300

Whenever I play Dying Light, Dishonored 2 or Far Cry Primal which are games that uses up a lot of graphics, the CPU tends to heat up a lot rather than the GPU and my FPS were like 50-60 is it normal that the CPU heats up to 80? Should I tweak some settings?

80C of the CPU is a normal temperature for a laptop, but you can reduce it if you don't feel comfortable with it, by undervolting the CPU. You can use Intel XTU or Throttlestop to undervolt. Start with reducing the voltage by 100mV and keep reducing it by 5mV at a time until the system crushes. Reboot and set the voltage to the last value the system was stable on. You should have a stress test like prime95 running at the background, while undervolting for stability test(you want to make sure the system doesn't crush even in extreme conditions).

Undervolting doesn't reduce performance.
