sorry, the laptop is only a few months old. the first program I used to check the temps(last night) was the built in omen interface, I downloaded Speccy last night after king atrhur suggested to and the numbers were very similar. it is not running as hot currently.

That new, RMA it for repair.. Don't open it yourself. Waste of a warranty.

so I did some digging, pretty sure I found the issue

just opening the bottom case doesn't void the warranty so I said why the hell not.

Uh yeah. That looks to be at least part of and maybe all of the problem.

/e Make sure you clean not only the fan blades, but the channels through which the air flows.

Yup I did that, grabbed some compressed air and a vaccum, I'll see how it runs later today when I got some time

The temps should be better. Hopefully, that's all it was.
Try to only use the laptop on a hard surface, with plenty of airflow for the vents.

Might want to look into a laptop cooler as well. Something like this...
