Asus Q534UX max temp locked at 68C (Help!)

I have had this laptop for 3 years now, when I game the temperature raises to 68C and throttles, decreasing my performance significantly from 950mhz to 450mhz. I have tried a lot of methods to decrease my temperature such as undervolting or changing out my thermal paste but none of them seem to make a significant difference.
So I have been looking into bios modding recently to hopefully increase the temperature cap on my laptop, can someone help me or walk me through the process of removing this temperature lock on my GPU.
I have also attached my bios below the thread if anyone needs it

 

Many thanks!
TD

Laptops have laptop airflow and cooling.  68c is quite low for a modern machine, but in keeping with a much older one.  There might be a reason the manufacturer set that limit.  Breaking it might not be a good idea.  Looking at the specs it’s not new but not nearly old enough for 68c to be a normal throttle point, so there’s a decent chance it was done on purpose by the makers.  It could just be they didn’t want the bottom getting hot and burning people, but it could also be that when such a machine gets warm it warms up everything inside it, and there may be another component that can’t take the heat.  I don’t know.

Not a pro, not even very good.  I’m just old and have time currently.  Assuming I know a lot about computers can be a mistake.

 

Life is like a bowl of chocolates: there are all these little crinkly paper cups everywhere.

I am aware of the risks that come to unlocking the thermal point, I want to go ahead to remove it. Please show me how to do it.

The throttle temp limit is generally internal to the cpu.  I’m not even sure such a thing can be changed in bios.

Best way to increase performance without some hacky way of doing so is ramping the fan up if that's were possible, and make sure the laptop is in hard surface
