    I’m a bit worried about my temperatures when gaming.

    Under regular gaming my GPU stays at 80c and my CPU at 90c

    When playing VR my GPU stays at 85c and my CPU fluctuates between 92c and 99c. I assume I should be pretty worried?

    This laptop is only 6 months old, I have air on running, a laptop cooler, fan boost and even an extra external fan pointed at my laptop. Is there anything I can do or am I screwed?

    Thanks!

    What's the laptop cooler like? It could be not helping at all.

    Try it on a table with a couple bottle cap under each of the back feet.

    Tried that and the same issue :( I also tried playing Witcher Wild Hunt and the CPU temps were at 100 at one point - same as if I were VR gaming. I don’t understand. Also I’ve noticed that my laptop cooler isn’t doing anything.

    Most laptop cooler stands wont do anything. Is this actually based on a Clevo?

    Really? I thought they’re a huge thing for laptop cooling. My one had great reviews but isn’t working for me :/

    Got to have enough airflow/pressure to get in and not be too restrictive. Most with fans are pants so I adapted my own.

    oh god lol I don’t think I’m smart or technical enough to make that. Do you recommend a way to buy something similar?

    I don't think anyone makes them, i'd advise getting one without fans and a nice open mesh design on the stand itself.
