[SOLVED] Overheating ASUS ROG GL-703VM

[Jasquen]

Hello! My laptop is overheating very badly, It makes me wanna just destroy the laptop. I have undervolted my CPU, tried to undervolt my GPU but still my GPU and CPU reaches 95 degrees Celcius when I'm gaming. I ordered thermal paste, but I'm afraid it won't help and there's something seriously wrong with the laptop. I deleted the GPU drivers and updated it.

• 17.3-inch (1920 x 1080) 60 Hz
• 2.8GHz Intel Core i7-7700HQ (3.8GHz boost) 4 cores, 8 threads
• Windows 10 Home 64-bit
• Nvidia GTX 1060 GPU with 4GB RAM
• 16GB 2400MHz DDR4 RAM
• 256GB SSD
• 1TB HDD

Here are some screenshots;
https://ibb.co/HnG36sf (insurgency sandstorm - 5 minutes played)
https://ibb.co/K7F1QQj (Metro Exodus - 5 minutes played)
I Played both games with the LOWEST graphic settings by the way.)
https://ibb.co/fxcnQk5 ( pc idle )
https://ibb.co/Wx2tXNS ( after gaming 10 minutes)

Is there anything else I can / should do? I am desperate for help during these quarantine days. Thanks.

Most laptops with the i7-7700HQ are known for running hot, specially with a dedicated GPU.
Undervolting the CPU usually reduce the temperatures but not by much, when the GPU is also the source of heat.
How did you go about undervolting the CPU?

I used the Intel(R) Extreme Tuning Utility, gave it a minus 110 volt but still, even on %20 usage, Package temperature is between 85 and 90 degrees .. that darned CPU..

95c on 40% holy <Mod Edit>. Theres no question your thermal throttling basically in idle states already lol.
If your out of warranty then just repaste with thermal grizzly kryonaut its best non conductive thermal paste and you dont have to worry about messing anything up. When you disassembly first thing to do before anything is obviously disconnect power cable, and battery connector. You can access battery connector first thing after opening the backplate :

This not might be the exact model but battery should be same place, you can quickly check by opening the backplate and taking a picture. Also get some 90%+ isoprophyl alcohol for cleaning the heatsink and cpu / gpu die contacts from old thermal paste, after its dried apply new paste. Check that all thermal pads are in place after removing the heatsink cause those can fall off sometimes, (thermal pads are in contact with other chips like vrm on the main board. you can see them at 1.40min on the video connnected to heatsink.
