Hello everyone, so i played a lot of Watch Dogs on my Lenovo Y510p
Intel core i7 4700MQ 2.4GHZ
Nvidia 755m SLI
8GB RAM
Highest temperature i got was 95C, thought I used a program called Ideafan which triggers the fan to run at 100% speed (Just a script that runs Lenovo's dust remover)

This program kept my laptop from heating more than 95C but it was still annoying. So i tried to find what was the problem, and came up with this.
According to http://www.notebookcheck.net/NVIDIA-GeForce-GT-755M-SLI.106493.0.html
Nvidia 755m core speed is 980 MHZ, while i was running Open Hardware to check my core speed MHZ it showed 1097 MHZ for nvidia. I think Lenovo overclocks the 755m I am really not sure about that.
Anyways, i installed MSI Afterburner and decreased the core speed by 100

Here are the results after i ran Watch Dogs again:

Yes, core speed decrease to 954 MHZ and i didn't experience any performance loss while playing on high settings in Watch Dogs.
Now i tested Hitman Absolution on Ultra and the highest temperature was 82C, since Nvidia's GPU Max temperature is 120C, I don't think this is a problem.
Anyways, if you want to test this yourself keep in mind that there are no risks.
I really hope this works for everyone too, and if it worked please let me know.
