HP Omen 16-n0747nr gaming laptop overheating

[LB119]

Recently my HP Omen 16 laptop has been overheating when gaming, sometimes reaching temperatures of 100°C even with the aid of a cooling pad and max fan speeds of 4900 RPM. This is abnormal as the same games used to only cause the laptop to reach maximum temperatures of 90°C with fan speeds at 3800 RPM. I couldn't detect anything using system diagnostics and drivers and BIOS are up to date (if anything, maybe this started happening when I downloaded the latest BIOS update around 2 weeks ago or so, but I'm not sure). I have had the laptop for only a few months and it still has warranty.

 Laptops overheat easily due to air flow problems and the CPU doing both graphics and computation work.  

Try preventing the CPU from being in turbo mode all the time.  Set the performance from 100 to 99 or lower in the advanced power plan.  Frequently the %99 change from 100 is all that is needed to run cooler.

That didn't help, although regardless I shouldn't be getting 100 degrees Celsius under any circumstances, especially not when fans are at max RPM and further assistance from a cooling pad. As mentioned, these temperatures are abnormal because this is a new issue, the laptop used to never experience such high temperatures even though I am doing nothing differently with it now than I was previously when there were no thermal issues. Even just opening Firefox can cause it to reach 90 degrees.
