Laptop overheating, what should i do?

[Anjelllo]

I'm getting 90 degrees celsius  on my cpu and 60-70 degrees celsius on my gpu while playing rocket league and my cpu is thermal throttling, creating horrible unplayable level stuttering. What should i do about it? I've heard that if you spray compressed air through the heat pipes that it will dislodge some dust, but how do i do that? Will it help if I can reapply thermal paste? My laptop is the acer v15 nitro black vn7 529g. ( i haven't found any videos of people cleaning them of dust)

Here's some pics: 

 

about to go to micro center to pick up some compressed air and thermal paste, anything else i should buy?

gaming laptops are poorly cooled cheaply made, changing the thermal paste and undervolted is the only thing you can do.

I agree but he can do this do:

 OPs computer has a fan, doing this will be much more difficult.

It used to work fine enough, is it a myth that thermal paste dries up, making it worse for cooling?

nope not a myth get fresh thermal paste, "fine" is what your gaming laptop cooling is.

Alright, will do ?. What does the second sentence mean?

really shitty cooling for the sake of thinness(razer) also  low-quality components that doesn't last long.

Use IC diamond for your thermal paste, and a fan clean will do some good as well. Also you can undervolt (skylake undervolts -140mv on average) and that should do the trick. For better performance in games you can moderately OC the 960m to +135 core +500 mem. Although you may want to do that after the thermal updates.

its a myth. perfectly applied paste with 0 gap lasts YEARS. Any "drying out" occurs as a result of any imperfection between the contacts.

Repaste it with Gelid GC Extreme. 

Undervolt it in XTU or Throttlestop. 

Clean it up.

Fresh install (remove bloatware)

most factory applied thermal paste is not zero gap, reapplying will make a difference especially good pastes such as ic diamond .

No of course factory applied isn't perfect.
