Yes you want to always play with the adapter plugged in or the system will throttle to save power and lose fps.

 

These machines do run a bit hot and various people have been reporting higher temps more than others.

Mine does run hot at moments also, but I dont have Starwars installed to compare to.

 

Some have reported that changing the thermal paste has helped, others not.

But I dont advocate doing so if you dont know what you're doing. Use caution, dont want to break something and void the warranty.

 

I doubt the vents are obstructed with dust, but do check that anyway (canned air method works).

Check that both fans are running also. If one is not working, it will overheat.

Using a USB cooling pad might help.

 

Other than that, I have not found a magical fix-all that brings the temps down in settings.

I run my power plan at High Performance.

Hello @cwai101

 

Helps if you post what games and the temps you're asking about.
