so i have this laptop already half year and recently it has pretty bight temperatures (expecially playing pubg max ive seen was 87 degrees but it ussaly stay at 82 degress when gaming for a while, then i clean some dust and it back to ~76 degress cpu and gpu ussaly araun 5-10 degress less but then i deicded to change thermal pasta i used grizzly pasta (also i noticed my original pasta was pretty fine) and now i have pretty good cpu temps like 63-70 but my gpu went so hight! it has now araund 85 degrees when playing hard games long term, just want hear your opinion what should i do.
 
That isn't high. It is quite normal for intensive game play. You could try a different paste, which may get the temp down a bit, and you could add things (cooling pad, fans, etc.) Even check the fan(s) in the laptop to make sure they are running correctly, or if need replacing.

But, again, that is a pretty normal temp in that situation.

Oh and love the 'pasta' typo btw. I needed a good laugh today. ;)
