Insane CPU and GPU temperatures even after new thermal paste / cleaned fan

VanyMoth

While gaming, the CPU and GPU temperatures reach 92C and 91C respectively. I can actually burn my hand on the hot air coming out of the exhaust without even touching the laptop. I re-applied thermal paste (arctic mx4) onto the cpu and gpu and thoroughly cleaned all the intakes, and the fan itself. Idle temperatures for both are around 50-55C.

 

These temperatures happen during gaming only, HWINFO64 shows that both CPU and GPU are thermal-throttling also so I am losing performance. There Is a sticker from the manufacturer on the back, claiming that the underside of the laptop can get really hot (which it does) but I'm mostly worried about laptop's lifespan with these temperatures.

Machine: Toshiba Satellite C55-A-1NU

CPU: Intel Core i5-4200M

GPU 1: Intel HD Graphics 4600

GPU 2: NVIDIA GeForce 710M

SSD: Samsung 256GB SATA3

BIOS Version 1.40 (Latest)

This is just a case of bad laptop cooling design I'm afraid. Are you doing anything demanding on it when this happens? These parts are not supposed to be hard to cool at all.

Yes, playing games like WarFrame, during benchmarks (Unigine Heaven 4.0) etc

To be expected on the little cooling it has
