    Is there anything I could do to help the laptop cool itself more, like more of an internal mod so that heat is dissipated more quickly? I currently have AC5 on the CPU and GPU and a Zalmann cooler.

    Well, you could rip off the heatsink vanes and then solder on some more copper so you can have a heatsink coming out the back of the computer? That way you could have a propper sized fan on it.
