What should I do if my i9-13900HX is overheating while gaming?

Have you thought about getting a cooling pad? They can help improve airflow and keep temperatures down while gaming.

It's actually pretty common for high-end laptop CPUs to run hot, but hitting those temps frequently isn't great. If you're thermal throttling, that could lead to performance drops. Try limiting your FPS to around 60-120. You generally don't need super high FPS for that game, right? Also, consider that thermal paste—if you're thinking about changing it, a high-quality one can make a difference, but since your GPU is cool, it might not be urgent.

Just a heads up, while laptops do get hotter than desktops, if yours is constantly hitting dangerous levels and throttling, that's a red flag. You might wanna keep an eye on it!
