My laptop is heating way too much

[csk...]

I have an Asus Zephyrus G16 (GU603VU). i bought it last year from the asus.com official website. Ever since i bought it, i have been dealing with heating issues right from the start. It has a 13th gen intel i9-13900H and nvidia rtx 4050. It has 6 p-core and 8-e cores activated already. I have an external laptop cooling pad and always play games while it is plugged in. 

 

HOWEVER, when i try to run games such as days gone, forza horizon 5 and red dead redemption at lowest graphic settings but at 2560x1600 res, it heats up very quickly and sometimes even forcefully shuts down due to cpu reaching temperatures like 97°C. I make sure they run on nvidia display mode and neither performance or turbo settings work on armoury crate. I have barely any background apps. What should i do?

Intel CPUs definitely run really hot, but if your system shuts down, that is definitely a problem. You should check if the thermal paste is correctly applied and see if you can control your fan rpm.
