Model: IdeaPad Slim 3 15IAH8 - Type 83ER
Describe the issue: Hey there. I am facing some odd issues with my work laptop. it's brand new, i've had it for about a month. With some normal work, where i have discord , and a minimized browser playing music , or maybe an open one where im working , the temperatures reach about 80 or 90. The odd thing is, when i run a game like Factorio, the temperature is stable at around 50. But, watching a video on youtube makes the temperature go crazy and I have noticed some throttling. Here's an example of a video im watching with nothing else running and it's just super odd. Don't know what to do, i can't open it because it will void warranty because that's a sad sad law here in North Macedonia. Am i worrying about nothing or is this cause for concern? The first image is with the video example, the second one is with opera minimised, a few tabs on it open and just discord on main monitor.
I use an external monitor and the laptop monitor. Both set to 60fps even though external can support much more.
What have you tried already?: I'm not sure if it's a problem or not, i'm asking for advice.
When did it start producing the issue: When i first got it and accidentally touched the keyboard and noticed its warm on the left side.
Did you install new drivers or software?: It's a brand new laptop running windows 11.
Can you provide images/videos to show us the issue: I did. Image 1 is when watching a video just one external monitor. 2nd image is when i have browser open on laptop monitor and just discord on external. I caught it at a spike, it's usually 85.

Well your temps are high. Not sure how good your heatsink is. This is a legion server. You said you can’t repaste, so not anything you can do anyway
Your averages are very low though. You recorded for a long time so most of the time temps are fine. Spikes are going to happen and aren’t anything to worry about
tnx. ill try and find a dedicated server for this sort of issues.
would you happen to know any?
Nope. I don’t think you have anything to worry about though
