New laptop running hot?

[Brandon_16]

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
