    Recently I noticed my laptop has been getting very hot. It's idle temperature is around 70C and when I'm gaming it can go over 90C and this is WITH a cooling pad. Just browsing the internet/watching youtube will bring the temperature above 80C. I did a factory restore and replaced the thermal paste on my CPU and GPU (Arctic Silver 5) but it didn't help at all. Does anyone know what could be the issue/how to fix computer overheating?
