Good evening everyone !
I've had this custom made laptop from PC Specialist for about 3 months now. Starting 2 weeks ago, it began overheating. At first, I didn't give it much attention but tonight I decided to check the temperatures with Speccy. Before posting the temperatures, here are the specs : GTX 1080, 32 GB RAM, i7 8700k, Motherboard Clevo Notebook P7xxTM1 (U3E1), SSD 1 TB Samsung Evo 850.
The temperatures on idle/just opera running : Processor : 57 C
Motherboard : 55-60 C
Graphics Card : 45-50 C
Storage : 40-45 C.
But once I start a not so demanding game like league of legends the temperatures on the motherboard and processor go as high as 90 C and even if I set the coolers to max power it doesn't drop. I'm also using a laptop cooler under it, and I've always had.
Anyone has any idea ? I really don't wanna have to send it into warranty because it takes quite a while.
To be mentioned that I've never tried overclocking or underclocking and I've got no ideas about them.
Thank you in advance !

What clock speeds are you seeing and what titles are you running?

And 2387 in processor memory.

Then that's pretty normal for all 6 cores in use.

Is the processor delidded or not? (liquid metal thermal paste?)
Does it have regular thermal compound? Do you know?
90% this is caused by dried out thermal compound, although this is going to be dried out between the heatsink and IHS. You will need replacement paste (safe paste is Coolermaster Maker Nano), but since you're going to repaste, you might as well also try delidding as well, to get your temps down even lower. You can either buy a Rockit 88 (whatever they're called) Delidding tool, or one of the other 8700K delidding tools out, and delid it and put some liquid metal thermal paste on the CPU (there are MANY guides for delidding, but it's VERY easy to do. You will need some silicone gasket sealer to relid: i suggest this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002UEN1U/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_8?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3OSNZBUPOJ7AE
and as far as delidding, all you have to do after delidding is apply 3 coats of nail polish (transparent, cellulose based) on the SMD resistors on the CPU housing, and then apply Grizzly Conductonaut, then you're good to go.
Here is a good article on delidding and why it's important to apply TRANSPARENT NAIL POLISH around the CPU's SMD resistors.
If LM touches those, it can EAT the solder (besides short circuiting something) and the SMD's can wind up falling off. Nail Polish prevents this from happening.

For the regular thermal paste on the heatsink, some people will use LM if your heatsink is COPPER but NOT aluminum, but the safest way to go is Coolermaster Gel Nano Maker.

Thank you anyway. -
Hi,
You may try this before sending it back:
http://forum.notebookreview.com/thr...ctive-cooling-mod-for-p775dm2-p775dm3.803626/
If the P775TM1 HS is the same as the P775DM3, you might also have a poor contact between the GPU/CPU die/IHS and the heatisink. This little trick allows a proper contact and thus better temperatures.
I gained approximately 25°C on the GPU (70°C with 100% GPU load) and 10° on the CPU (75°C with 100% CPU load). -
And if you do the trick, be sure that the clips are all the same section. I tried with 2 different clips (I know, what a dumb idead) and the result is even worse than doing nothing...
