Best way is a full strip down and clean and hope nothing was damaged before you turned it off, take it all apart let it dry then clean it thoroughly with isopropyl reassemble and pray to the old gods.

This problem is generally caused by the mic's pickup being too sensitive this can be adjusted in discord.

True, but id dont believe it is the root of the problem, hopefully op already tried closing background apps. Screenshots of a monitoring program such as msi afterburner showing both cpu and gpu usage would be helpful. Are you overclocking? my friend had trouble with it until he went back to...

I get 80-120 fps with 8gb of ram so that isn't the issue.

try adjusting the fan curves, if you get the fans running at a higher rpm you may bring the temps down even more

Im not a laptop guy so cant comment on just how effective they are but they do seem to drop a few degrees, have you played around with the fan curves? if you get the fans running faster at a lower temp you may be able to bring them down that way. although 75c isnt cause for concern, cooler is...

I would imagine its built to survive a power cut, to be safe though use a surge protector

You will tear through 500gb very quickly, operating system and a few AAA games will eat that up, unless you dont mind contantly deleting and installing things id get the 256 ssd for boot and fav games and the hdd for general storage.

It is certainly well above the minimum recommended specs for vr so id imagine it will work quite well.

Thats a thermal pad or thermal tape, so yes it can be removed and replaced with paste.
