I5-9300HF overheating

Hello,
I've had my Lenovo Legion Y540 (laptop) for 1 year. In gaming, the graphics card has a normal temperature around 75 degrees, but the processor rises to 95 degrees, which throttles performance. However, I have a cooling pad and I've undervolted my CPU.
I don't want to disassemble the laptop to change the thermal paste because I've had it for 1 year and the warranty could be voided.

Hello,
If you have already undervolted your processor and you have a ventilated support, unfortunately there is not much more to do. If your PC is 1 year old, I don’t think changing the thermal paste will make much of a difference. You might as well open your PC and blow out any dust that may have accumulated inside, which can help.
Laptop computers are harder to cool than a desktop, and when it's very hot in summer, certain components can reach very high temperatures. This is unfortunately the problem with many laptops.
