    Hello,
    A few months ago I bought a P650HS-G with i7 7820HK and IC Diamond thermal paste.
    The only "overclocking" that I've done is undervolting the CPU with -100 mV.
    A few days ago I bought Playerunknows Battlegrounds and my CPU started reaching around 95-100 Degrees in game. The 1070 is reaching 80 too, which sounds high too? I don't think that this is normal? Is there a way to fix it?
    Also I should mention that the laptop is lifted off the desk so it should have enough airflow.
    I am attaching a screenshot of the laptop's specifications and the temps from the in game:

    Thank you very much!
    Best regards.

    Certainly very hot at 100C ! Perhaps the repaste wasn't done correctly by the reseller.

    This system is better with temps than that, even with that CPU. Might want to examine the paste, unless that risks your warranty with your seller.

    Have you tried max fans, btw (FN and 1)?

    I just got 95 degrees playing only CS-GO. My seller was Xotic PC so I think everything should be kmah. And the first week of owning the laptop the temps were okay (as far as I remember, thought I haven't tested it in many games).
    I think I know how I can repaste the CPU, do you guys think I should do it?
    Also I used the laptop for a few days from my bed, do you think that I might need to clean the fans?
    Also would a cooling pad help for the temps?

    Thank you again for the answers!
    Best regards.

    I had similar issue with that laptop, you just need to push down really hard on the heatsink/fan area after a re-paste - the Chinese factory doesn't seat the heatsink properly, you will hear a loud pop sound. i mean dont destroy anything, be gentle about it and all, but yeah. i got normal temps after i re-seated it all.

    Also, if I were you I would just refund it if you can. Laptops are a mistake. I learned my lesson the hard way. Build a nice little Micro-ATX PC instead.

    Someone made bad repaste for sure or heatsink is not properly screwed...

    Soo what do you suggest guys? I will open the laptop today to see what can be done, hope I can fix the heatsink. Unfortunately I do not have any paste to repaste it at the moment but if the heatsink is okay I might buy and try.
