Recently, i noticed that my CPU and GPU are constantly showing temperatures of between 87-91 degrees celcius (180s-190s fahrenheit) but only when i play a game. when i am browsing the internet, even on very cpu and gpu intensive sites, my laptop caps out around 66 C (150ish F). however, the moment i launch any game, even before i get to the menu, literally seconds after the game opens, it's back up to 80s-90s with no warning, and immediately drops back to the 60s upon quitting. I have a i7-4500U cpu and a Nvidia GT 745m, in an Asus Q550lf. is the sensor faulty, or do i have to reapply thermal paste or something? i'm asking because the heatsink is basically welded into the motherboard, and is practically impossible to remove.
EDIT: forgot to mention, if you actually feel the cpu, gpu, heatsink, or the metal/general area around it, it doesn't feel that warm. maybe 70-80 degrees at the most, but still not close to the amount it reads.
