    So I've been playing games on this laptop, and I notice the CPU could hit up to 87c on certain instances, and this is with a 20c ambient temp!
    If I turn off my airconditioner it hits 91c easy, while playing games! The GPU stays cool though rarely hitting 70c unless I turn off my airconditioner.
    All this is happening with an undervolt of -153mv! If I took out the undervolt, the temps climb 4-5c! Should I RMA this?

    That's normal, and RMA will probably result in the system returned to you without improvement.
    1. Tune down graphics settings as your system is hitting thermal capacity
    2. Upgrade thermal pads and thermal compounds
    3. or, undervolt and determine the sweet spot settings for your unit

    Another solution to help may be a notebook cooler.
