Hey folks. I just got my MSI GE60 Apache Pro-003. For the most part, I'm very satisfied with its gaming capabilites, but it does get very hot during my playtime with certain games like Battlefield 4 or Arkham Origins.

Although it never feels uncomfortable to the touch of my palm, I am concerned about the "health" of my components as they tend to reach the low 90s C after about half an hour to an hour depending on the game. Idle temperatures range from 40 to low 50s. I know these things get warm but this seems like overheating to me.

What's your best cooling pad recommendation?

I suggest you re-paste the GPU/CPU, add a few copper to the heatsink and any cooling pad of your likes, I would recommend cooler master notepals, either one with a big fan or two/three/four movable fans

Well, thank you but eh....I have no idea how to do that. That sounds a little risky to me (breaking warranty/potentially damaging components).
