Hey guys,
I've been monitoring my temps recently as I've started to notice some very weird behaviours. When I'm playing games RivaTuner/Afterburner always seems to show my CPU temp at 92 degrees. It might fluctuate a degree or two now and then but it's nearly always at 92 degrees - I'd say 99% of a gaming session it will say 92. In the past, this would obviously fluctuate depending on what I was doing, ranging from low 80s to around 97.
I've just been monitoring my temps for the past 10 minutes or so and it's still shooting between 75 and 95 degrees - spending most of the time in the 90s. I have my max processor power set to 80% when plugged in and I have the laptop on a cooling pad (which aren't that great, I know). I know I can always do a repaste, but I suspect there's a bigger issue at play here other than a simple crappy/worn out paste. The laptop is about 1.5 years old.

Things I've tried:
- Undervolting
- Limiting the max processor state to less than 100%
- Cooling pad
- Max fans
- CoolBoost
- Changing power plan
