Hey all!
Recently I've been having an issue with my laptop. I mainly use it for schoolwork and gaming, however I've noticed that it runs really hot when I use it for certain video games. For League of Legends it runs at about normal temperature (high 60's, low 70's), however when I play Blizzard games like World of Warcraft or Hearthstone, the temperature jumps to high 80's. I determined that it is the GPU that's overheating. The CPU is heating up as well but I have a feeling its only warm because of the proximity to the GPU since its a laptop and everything is a little bit more confined.
I am planning on calling Lenovo support since it's still under warranty but they don't have the best service and I'm dreading being without a laptop for too long. Any suggestions on ways to fix this without getting Lenovo involved?
Below is a link to the exact laptop I have, minus Windows 8. I rolled it back to Windows 7 when I got fed up with the tiles.

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated
