I have a Legion 7 2021 with a Ryzen 9 processor and an RTX 3080. I am getting 98 c on the CPU with a peak of 102 c, while the GPU reaches 87 c. all of this while only gaming. In addition, I tried to reinstall AMD and Nvidia drivers from the Lenovo website, but that didn't work.
Do I need to reinstall windows, because I tried everything that I could. The only thing remaining is a fresh windows install from Lenovo Media recovery.

It turns out that the heatsink was dusty. Cleaning the fan was not enough, the heatsink has dust blocking some of the air exhaust path. I used the air blower to unblock it. Now my laptop doesn't reach 90 c anymore. Thank you 😁

Hi. Did you have to take off the heat sink or can you blow dust off the exhaust path even with it still attached. Thanks.

I didn't remove the heat sink. I just removed the back cover and I hold the fan to stop it from spinning. I put my phone flash light on the fan and then looked at the heatsink from the outside to see if there was dust blocking the air path.

surreal osprey
It was powerful enough. This was my first time using an air blower can.

And don't forget to put the laptop on service mode from the bios.
exotic urchin

Disable the battery. Plus, the laptop will not turn back on without plugging in the power cable.
exotic urchin

i dont think blowing compressed air would clean the fans, just open the case and clean fans with a brush

I did that, the problem was with the heatsink, it was blocked.

fans are soldered to the vapor chamber block

No idea what do you mean by that and I don't know if it is soldered or not. All what I had is a dirty fan and a partially blocked heatsink that was causing the problem. I tried cleaning the fan only and it didn't solve the problem. After that I realized that the heatsink was partially blocked.
