Hi, sorry for the late answer. I have the same laptop and have experienced much better cooling/heat-performance so that the laptop no longer throttles during gaming by doing the following: (1) turn off CPU-turbo by setting max performance to 99% in power options (2) under-volting CPU using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility (XTU), currently set at -0.125V but depends on your CPU (3) under-volting GPU using MSI Afterburner, check thread mentioned below for profiles you can download (4) set a frame-cap of 60 fps using RivaTuner (5) head-modded bottom of laptop case underneath the fans by drilling holes and gluing on dust-filters (6) used copper-tape to remove gap between fans and heat-sinks inside laptop (7) using a notebook-cooler with fans positioned to blow air straight at the fans located inside the laptop Turning off CPU turbo and under-volting CPU/GPU is the least work and have big impact on heat-development. The following thread has more good information on all the steps mentioned above:...
