If you're interested in becoming a bit of a computer tech, you can very easily remedy this problem.

I'd find videos on youtube before doing anything, with that said I would 100% recommend disassembling the laptop to replace the thermal paste for the CPU and the GPU. I would 100% recommend changing every single thermal pad you see in there, and using the video guides, likely apply a few more well placed thermal pads. The paste/pads will net you a HUGE effect, likely -10c drops at max load.

These are the two pastes I would recommend -https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07NV27PDX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1

And Pads:

However, I would recommend being sure your laptop uses 1mm before purchasing. Some laptops use .5mm and 1mm or other variations but you want to be sure to get that right so you don't mess up spacing.

When I was still running a laptop, I used a small artic usb fan turned to blow air into the laptop where it naturally pulls air from. This is likely the least effective but one I would still recommend, almost like supercharging a car ;) https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003XN24GY/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 - this is link to the one I used.

With the fan addition, I would also make sure to have your laptop lifted in the backend by something fairly small that can allow the unit to displace air better.

Lastly, I would recommend MSI Afterburner software, with a custom fan curve to turn the fans sooner with a little more power, as well as turning down the clock speed and memory clock settings. This can have a drastic impact in the -5-10c range.

Other than it being incredibly obvious that it was? You can see the rest of the images on the Amazon page with the hilariously bad manipulated images: https://www.amazon.com/Arctic-Silver-High-Density-Polysynthetic-Compound/dp/B07NV27PDX
