    Hey guys, First and foremost let me put out the specification of my laptop.
    • MSI GT70 2PE Dominator Pro
    • Window 8.1 64Bit
    • 16GB RAM
    • GTX880M 8GB
    • Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4810MQ
    I have sent my laptop for service before due to audio port problem. They changed my motherboard and now the problem seem to have been solved but another problem arises. Previously I could play my games in High graphics and the GPU temperature would only stay around 80 Degrees Celsius but now it's around 93 Degrees Celsius. I turned down the graphic to minimum and the problem persist with 93 Degrees Celsius. . While there are some games which I played before I could play in High Graphics and get a constant 100 FPS but now I could only play in low with 30FPS.

    What I have tried:
    • Made a clean install of windows
    • Made a clean install of Nvidia Driver

    Try doing a repaste of the heatsinks and ensuring they are clean.

    The screws for the heatsink may not have been tightened enough when they replace the motherboard. Check those screws, and if you're still having issues, follow Meakers suggestions.

    Agree, check cooling pads, and thermal paste to make sure that they are properly applied and secured.
