    New laptop running hot?

    It has an I7-7700hq and it runs 40ish idle and 80-90 when playing really intensive games. Most recently far cry 5. It’s default over locked to 3.4ghz and I can’t change it in intel extreme tuner cause the multipliers are locked. The model of laptop is an MSI ge72mvr

    High CPU temps

    Im not new to computers, which is why i dont know why i cant get the temps to go down, I have applied new thermal paste, i have cleaned the heatsinks, i have cleaned the fans. Idle its 46-50 and on load its 80-90, thats not UBER hot but its enough for throttling, its an I7 5700HQ in an MSI ge 72 2qf

    Nothing looks damaged, started properly and ran well enough considering I was doing repairs, I let it sit for maybe and hour and hand dried using TP, should I be concerned at all? I can't afford repairs and the warranty is up..

    Major laptop problems

    so my hard drive is fine, the buzzing I heard was coming from the fan, so i took it out and cleaned it, put the fans back in, I accidently unplugged a wire idk what it did but i can assume it was for the fan on the right side because that fan isnt running as far as i can tell, Now in game fps...

    Replacing a laptop hard drive..

    Hello, I purchased an MSI ge72 Apache pro about 2 years ago, it's been a solid workhorse and I love it to be honest, but I have a feeling the hard drive is going bad, I was wondering if I could get it replaced and how much that would cost. Sadly I do not have the budget for a new computer...
