Hi,
I have a 2-3 year old Lenovo E420
The CPU temperatures are constantly at 100 degrees Celcius whenever I'm playing a game (Counter Strike: Global Offensive)
This leads to intense throttling and a drop in FPS.
I've tried to limit the CPU's maximum power state to lower numbers, but it doesn't really help.
Is there any way to fix this, short of buying a new computer?
