    You can undervolt a microprocessors or CPU’s to operate at a very specific voltage. There is a process called Dynamic Voltage Scaling, a power management technique where voltages of individual components inside a computer can be increased/decreased. You save power when the CPU consumes less of it. This also leads to your system not heating up as much meaning the fans will not have to work as hard.

    Have a look at this article (as its too long to explain) of “How To Undervolt A CPU To Increase PC Performance” here: https://www.addictivetips.com/windows-tips/how-to-undervolt-a-cpu/  or you can also use a laptop tablet cooler to dissipate the heat or repaste the CPU/GPU with Thermal Grizzly Hydronaut thermal conductive paste. There are other more drastic measures and mods to do ‘if you want to go so far’? There is no magic pill and/or a one magic cure to overheating in a laptop, unless you mod and do certain things, remember, a laptop is not like a desktop. Btw, the Triton 300 is designed to run at about those temps and 90c is getting up there but it won’t turn your Triton 300 off and/or damage it.

    thats kinda crazy that those temps are fine, this is my first laptop and i am so used to temps on a pc being 65 and below, i will take a look at that article and see if it confuses me or not lol but i have purchased a fan cooler to rest the laptop on so hopefully i wont need to mess with any settings, thank you for the reply

    I too was concerned about the temps of my Triton 300 (10th gen i7 10750H, RTX 2060 6GB, 16GB RAM). CPU was running around 87-91degrees, GPU was in the high 7080s..

    If your confident with taking your laptop apart, I would recommend (at your own risk), removing the original stock thermal paste from the CPU & GPU, then replacing with Artic MX-4 (this is a non condustive thermal paste so you dont have to ***** your pants when applying it). This knocked a few degrees off my temps whilst in game.. 

    My laptop sits on a gamer cooling pad (with 5 fans) and I've also purchased 2 x KLIM Cool extractors which i have placed on the back extractor fans. This has again took a few degrees off the temps, but overall has helped drop my System temp massively (See photo below) 

    General laptop use out of game, my system stays pretty cool with decent temps (see below)


    After playing 45min of DayZ Standalone on high/extreme graphics, GPU Overclocking on extreme with fan control set to Auto (with Coolboost slected) and WITHOUT ther turbo button on : 


    Hope this helps you out a little bud!
