After I updated the BIOS on my laptop to latest version 1.19(Which stated improved system performance). my laptop has been reaching constant temps as high as 80 degrees under load, where as the reached constant temps of 68-70 degrees on version 1.17. How do I fix this issue? Can't even find a good fan control software that works with my laptop.
Idle temps hovering at 50 degrees. Was 46 degree before with ambient temperature of 35 degrees.

    80°C under load is normal for a performance power plan. In fact, 90°C can be considered normal under high load. If you want lower CPU and GPU temperatures, then adjust your power plan to balanced in control panel settings. Jack E/NJ
