I've recently changed the thermal paste and cleaned out the fans, but I'm still seeing some concerning temperature readings. When idle, my CPU is between 40-60°C, but when I'm gaming, it jumps up to 85-95°C. I'm not sure what else I can do to fix this. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

As for solutions, if you're dealing with a laptop, upgrading to a better cooling system is usually tricky. Since you mentioned it didn't have this issue a week ago, monitor any other changes you made. If adding more fans isn't an option, ensure nothing is blocking the vents and that you've applied the thermal paste correctly. Sometimes, reapplying it can make a difference!
It sounds like your CPU is experiencing some serious temperature spikes, which can happen for a few reasons. First, ensure your laptop is in a well-ventilated area. Sometimes, just moving it to a different spot can improve airflow. You might also need additional cooling options; consider investing in a cooling pad or an external fan to help reduce those gaming temps.
