Hello. The 8750H in your MSI laptop reaches temperatures as high as 94°C during spikes, though gaming sessions typically keep it between 85 and 90°C. That’s within the expected range for this CPU. Should I recommend lowering the voltage instead? Yes, I think that would be a good first step.
It varies by laptop! What model are you using? Generally, anything under $105 works well. Doing it yourself is a great option—it's much more affordable. Also, undervolting can make a big difference.
You don’t have to worry about cleaning and repasting. The toughest part is removing the plastic cover, which often breaks during disassembly.
