It's actually a normal result. Old MSI gaming laptops especially lower end ones don't cool CPU well

 

Can try undervolting and repaste (some paste aren't suitable for laptops / outdated so keep in mind)

hello everybody.

 

I'm here to ask for help or any advise, it's been a while since my laptot, an msi gp62, has had thermal issues, reaching CPU 97ºC playing Crysis 3. When I saw it, decided to contact msi and they answered to change the bios and firmware, after doing it, my laptop still reaches CPU 87ºC with Crysis 3 and I'm thinking that this might be a thermal paste problem.

 

what I'm asking if there is any problem if i do so, or if I should leave it.

and if i need to change the thermal paste, which is the best option to apply.

 

 

currently running CPU I7-6700HQ

 

thanks in advice.

If it's still under warranty I would ship it to MSI. Even though they are not exactly known for their "good" customer support...

Years before I built my desktop PC and I used to game on my laptop. The CPU and GPU would both reach 95C and throttle the performance since 95C was the temperature limit. I cleaned the fans, replaced the thermal paste and it only dropped to 93C... Gaming on a laptop is just not a good idea, high temperatures are to be expected since you can't have proper cooling and air flow inside a laptop. Laptops are designed to run at hot temperatures anyway, so your components won't get damaged.
