MSI GF63 10SC GTX 1650 maxq....i7 variant Thermal Issues....

Alright before anyone says anything about how old the laptop is....I know it's pretty old....but I have been taking care of it and using it on a daily basis

But as of recently my temps got really really hot.......I replaced my thermal paste with paste I used about 2 years ago and the temps dropped significantly at that time I'm talking around 78°C max under heavy load for CPU and GPU

Recently I bought the same thermal paste which was the Noctua NT H1 and when I applied it to my laptop the temps dropped for a little bit and then heated back up to around 92°C for my CPU and 87°C for my GPU under heavy load I even reapplied the paste in case I messed up the reapplication and the same story happened

Then I did research and a lot of people recommended PTM7950 phase sheet for laptops as it works and performs well in laptops as it doesn't have the push out effect But even replacing the thermal paste for the Thermal Grizzly PTM7950 phase change sheets didn't help with the temps

What could be the cause of this???

Note my laptops fan is working properly as well

Note I also have a good cooling pad and I did replace thermal pads as well on certain areas as well and cleaned the fans kinda

I'm honestly at a dead end at what the issue could be

Note I didnt need to underclock my laptop either when I got those good temps after replacing the thermal paste either so I know that's not really a problem so I think....
