Hi guys I have some issues with my new laptop hitting high temperatures while gaming.
I pretty much play only one game which is Total War Rome II. I guess the game is very demanding on the CPU as when having a Performance plan in Nitrosense the CPU temperature hovers at 85-92 C almost constantly. The laptop is being throttled seems like every 30 seconds due to hitting 92 C degrees.
I can play this game for a few hours straight and I feel like I'm slowly frying the laptop up.

I could probably also try to turn off Turbo boost? Not sure which of those two options would give me lower performance drop. Anyone?
- I have a cooling pad.
- Laptop is only a few weeks old so reapplying thermal paste would most likely void my warranty.
- Tried undervolting but it seems my i7-10750H has undervolting blocked as the settings wouldn't stick at all.
Anything else I can try?
