    Hello !
    I am the owner of a Clevo p670rp laptop

    Gtx 1060 6 gb
    i7 6700 hq
    16 gb ram

    So....I will tell you the whole story so hold tight.

    When i bought the laptop i gamed on it just fine. The problem is that the cpu used to hit around 95 degrees and my gpu up to 91-92 degrees.

    After repasting and undervolting CPU with ThrottleStop and my GPU with msi afterburner
    My cpu was hitting max 75 degrees but my gpu still hit 91 degrees.

    I tried repasting and did nothing...i tried setting different curves but did nothing.
    One day I was checking the control center of Clevo and i saw i had MSHYBRID ON, so just to check i turned it off and selected Dedicated GPu only. By that day with same setting my gpu was hitting max 76 degrees and i was a happy little fellow untill few days ago i had to reset the pc.

    guess what...AGAIN my laptop gpu hits 91 degrees. Even though i am undervolting, even though its stable at 0.875 V or 0.900 V ( Checked with gpu-Z ) i have the same problems....My cpu ( that i undervolted again ) is max 75-77 degrees under full load.

    I tried enabling MS hybrid, i tried using only dedicated gpu, i tried freaking old drivers. I tried WITHOUT and WITH clevo control center. I dont know what to do...

    I forgot to mention that i have G sync on the laptop...could it be the reason for the temperatures ?

    Im desperate ... HALP ! :(

    The reason the temps are so high is that the laptop just has plain bad cooling, which can't be solved unless you build your own solution. 75C seems pretty reasonable to me for this laptop ngl, but I would have someone who actually owns one to comment

    It doesn't. The Clevo 15"/17" Clevo P6 series has been known for having one of if not best GPU cooling in its form factor. It's got a double length rad and two fans just for the GPU. Plus the 65W/78W TDP/TGP 1060N is not hard to cool at all. OP needs to repaste again with a better TIM or LM. If that still doesn't help then the heatsink is probably broken.

    Truth is i used a cheap thermal paste but was the same one that i used when it was getting 75-76 degrees max

    Then it probably already pumped out or dried out. The lesson to take away from this is don't cheap out on thermal paste of all things.
