I live in a country where a temp of 35 degrees celsius is average (goes up to 40-45 during peak hours of summer) and even after cleaning my laptop's components as well as replacing the thermal paste for both CPU and GPU while gaming the laptop still can't get temps under 90c and always ends up thermal throttling, which makes my fps drop from 50-60 to 30-40 (in Skyrim at least). I used to have a cooling pad but threw it in the trash when I realized it was making no difference what so ever. Any ideas as for how to keep this laptop from thermal throttling like a pregnant horse?

 

Idle temp of the GPU is 57-60.

Was overclocked, tried to revert back to base speed but changed nothing.

MSI Afterburner or any other software don't allow me to change fan speed for some reason.

Try undervolting

 

I may be wrong.

I was afraid someone would recommend doing so, if there's any other option though I'll take it.

Undervolting is easy, and won't damage your cpu ( i think ) and if you do crash or get bsod just revert back to a stable voltage.

 

Or you could try liquid metal and undervolting?

I'd go for liquid metal but a few screws got damaged the last time I opened this laptop and I can't manage to open the chassis now, only other option I think is to get a more OP cooling pad that blows the shit out of the laptop, the one I had before wasn't that good.
