Hi @EA_Kent,
Haven't given the GPU any thought before, so I'm monitoring it now and it runs at around 70 degrees Celsius. Usually peaking at 73 degrees in intense scenarios. I think this temperature is fine? But I'm not so sure.

  If your running your laptop on a bed or anything soft or made of fabric definitely move it onto something like a table. You could try reposting your CPU’s thermal paste but I’m no expert in laptops so I’m not sure if yours will let you access the CPUs cooler.

    The laptop is seated on a laptop cooler already, and I have repasted within the last year. I did play a bit of Call of duty Warzone recently and it was running HOT. So maybe the thermal paste was damaged then? Anyway I think I'll have to try repaste again. Or it could just be the laptop getting old.
