Hey,
So these past few months when i've played more intensive games on my laptop ive been getting a lot of framedrops which are obviously very frustrating. When gaming, my laptop (and alienware 15 R2, intel i7-7820HK (2.70 ghz) with 16gb ram and a GTX 980M) reaches temperatures of 99C (for like a second or so) but still sits 90+. Got this whilst playing PUBG on lowest settings. I have elevated my laptop so its at a roughly 45 degree angle so there is air circulation. I have also updated my bios, graphics card etc, literally almost everything Only thing i haven't done that im aware of is dust checking the vents, but i dont have the appropriate screws for removing the cover from my laptop. Any help is appreciated, this is sort of my last resort.
