Help on how to do correctly undervolt on TRITON 300 (my laptop reaches high temperatures)

hi, apart from coming to the undervolt for help I would like to share my disappointing experience with the triton 300 laptop (the one with the I7-10750 / RTX 2070 max Q), since since I acquired it (already about 2 months ago) The temperature was one of the main problems, at first I was very excited to have acquired it, I installed a game that I wanted to play and it did not give many problems, at first I realized that it was better to have the ventilation to the maximum or in customization, since the Automatic mode towards everything except cooling the laptop, after a few days I wanted to try a game that since I finally had a place to play it I installed it and started playing, at first everything very well and with everything to the maximum, what was expected with what powerful that this machine is, even so the temperatures were around 90 degrees and had the fans at maximum, this obviously alarmed me and I removed the game instantly (I did not even play more than 15 minutes and it reached 90 degrees), I already commented on this case previously and they recommended me to do undervolt, after looking at what it was and how it was done I decided to use ThrottleStop, I put the voltage of 125, the turbo radio limits in 40 for all cores and I began to see if it gave results And if it did, At least in games that did not generate high temperatures if it did, and I decided to leave it at that, only playing games that did not generate many temperatures for about a month, and yesterday I wanted to try the CSGO a game that I already had days of wanting to try and despite the undervolt I could see how it was 80-70 degrees and slowly rising and although I had everything at maximum it is still very high, I would say that if I had stayed an hour I would have exceeded 85 degrees which I think is already a fairly high temperature limit (all this with the power cable connected), games like fortnite or others reach the same temperature and I don't know what else to try, the undervolt I'm not sure how to do it with my laptop, what program to use or if I do it from the BIOS or what voltage to put in and what setting to use to end this problem at once, in the end I am someone completely new to this world and would like some help or advice on what to do with the undervoltage to deal with this problem.

    its not possible to undervolt the 10th gen chips due to stability issues, but running at 90 or close to 90 isnt that bad for laptops.

    Its hot but you shouldnt run into any problems. The chip will just start to slow down to control the heat ouput vs heat disipation

    @Leostat is right 10th gen CPUs won't be able to undervolt.Changing settings from ThrottleStop will be applied but it will not work. Even 9th gen CPU's cannot be undervolted when running newer BIOS versions.

    Intel CPUs can run reliably at over 90°C. This is a "safe operating temperature" according to Intel. If it was not a safe temperature, thermal throttling would start sooner

    Here are a few things that I do while gaming on a laptop and hope you find it helpful too:-
    1. Place the laptop on an even surface,like a table and not your bed or lap.This helps in proper flow of air into the laptop. If possible Use a good cooling pad .I personally use a cooling pad standing one..and it flow cool air keeping my laptop cool all time. It also helps raise your laptop, reducing the temperature of the components..
    2. Check if the vents and holes of your laptop are dustfree and not blocked
    3. Make sure your room is well ventelated.Keep your AC or Fan on during summers because room temperature affect a lot 
    4. Try not to multitask (no torrents in the background or chrome or any other app which means more work for the CPU). Close all background app while gaming.
