Hey, your laptop's I7-4800MQ is heating up a lot under full load, especially the fourth core. It seems like it keeps getting hotter there even during gaming. You might want to check cooling solutions or see if cleaning dust from the fans helps. Let me know what you try!

Probably a minor issue with a small area on the CPU package. You won't be able to fix it without damaging the laptop.

An alternative approach might involve replacing the thermal paste.

This Friday I started my laptop and refreshed the thermal paste. Now all cores stay below 80°C. A 20°C gap! Thanks for the help! My machine is now helping with Folding@Home COVID-19 simulations around the clock, without me having to check the temperatures. Edited March 30, 2020 by TheBlue217
