Hi everyone, I need your help. My CPU is an Intel Core i7 8750H @ 2.20 GHz mounted on my Alienware M15 gaming laptop. It worked fine for several months, but then it started overheating even on the game menu section. For example, sometimes it goes to 85 °C with 17-18% of usage, going to 95-100 °C while gaming. I tried basically everything: I cleaned the fans, I put the thermal paste, both on CPU and GPU, twice in half a year and I did a clean Windows install as well. The most important and strange thing at the same time is that this doesn't happen when the laptop isn't plugged in, so I thought that the problem was the fact that the pc was charging the battery while running. But even removing the battery from it didn't work. I have no more ideas and I'd appreciate your help. Sorry if my english isn't that good.
