m15 R5, overheating, GPU locked to 40w
So I've owned this laptop for around a year. In winter it runs good but in summer it starts to overheat and lock the GPU to 40w which results in a performance loss. I've tried many things and I also cannot reach the support.

I highly recommend you take it to a shop where they clean all the dust and repaste it. I also recommend adding new thermal pads and use SpeedFan to control the thermals.

Quick Tip: If your laptop has voltage / charging issues, try shutting it down, unplugging power from laptop, hold power button down for 30 seconds to do a full reset!
