i have a MSI GE72 2QD Apache Pro laptop, i game on it reguarly playing a variety of games.
i have a new cooling pad i bought the other week after reading reviews on a good one.
i turn on the "extra fan/faster fan" when gaming to help with temps.
i have cleaned out the fans, fins and anywher eelse i could get into.
cleaned out registry and shut down any apps i dont need open.

now after doing all this and even setting games to medium or even low to test the temps the laptop easily sits at 80 degress on the menus and spikes close to 100 when playing. i put a cap on the frame rates to try and help with the load but it just gets so hot.
after aorund 15 mins of a average game say overwatch, the temp starts to create lag on my network and i start getting alot of latency and it icnreases until i either exit the match or it completly overheats and i lose my network.

im sort of out of ideas on what else i can do to fix this problem, ive been thru forums searching for answers and done everything bar actually dismantling my laptop which i would rather not do.
any help would be nice on how i can fix this,

thanks in advance.

some other info for what its worth (on desktop no apps running):
cpu: 10%----fan 1: 6000 rpm
Gpu: 8%------fan 2: 6000 rpm
Ram: 26%

Cpu: 51 degrees
Gpu: N/a (no apps open)

I know you don't want to take things apart, but you may have to at this point. If it isn't cooling down and you have no dust or blocked vents.

You could try changing out the thermal paste on the fans and see if that lowers the temps. If that alone doesn't do it, the fans themselves, in the end, might need replacing. If that is the case I would look into a better fan(s), if possible for that model.
