I keep it simple and short since I own this laptop for around 4-5 years and I was getting my sorry back kicked with this asus laptop. Turns out Steam client is heavy on chassis air flow. You may see temps are actually fine but chassis is still hot? This will help.
Getting a laptop fan also helps.
1.Open/log in to steam.
2.Bring up Task Manager
3.Click the little icon left the Steam Client on task manager (this will reveal details and processes of that main process in this case is Steam)
4.You will see tons of SteamWebHelpers. Steam needs some "help" for some reasons I do not know why.
5.Right click many of that Steamwebhelpers one with one, hit "Efficiency Mode"
6.Do this steps for all sub processes BUT you must leave one sub process UN-ENABLED with efficiency mode otherwise Steam will log you out if u do so.
This reduced my chassis heat build up like crazy, no joke, I was thinking something hardware-lly wrong with my overpriced laptop but this fixed it. Think: You woke up in the morning, you boot up the Steam suddenly heats up the chassis top of the laptop even the unrelated parts where getting some heat when I touch my thumbs. And my thumbs are HUGE so I can feel properly, doing this made my thumbs feel only semi-cold pressure. Which is great both for lifespan of the chassis durability and keyboard lighting and your overall usage.
You have to do this every single time you boot the Steam though, but this will even do cool the power pin place where you plug in your AC cable. Which is awesome
Take care
