				| open the taskmanager go to processes
 Enable the option to show all processes of all users if it's there
 then sort by CPU with highest at top
 
 Check if there's any process that's not "System Idle Process" with a high cpu usage

				| 1. Get a laptop that has a good cooling system. 
 2. Get a laptop stand.
 
 3. Clean thermals once in a while.
 
 4. Profit.

				| This is a wholesome answer in my opinion. One thing that comes to mind when it pertains to your specific model, is that the copper pipes around the heatsink are also very then (minimal heat exchange potential). 
 what I have used in the past (in conjuction with a laptop stand w/ fans) is attaching small copper heatsink blocks to the thermal pipes whenver possible to allow for additional heat dispensing.
 
 one last resort is to partially remove the back cover, or add additional opennings / remove air filters (make sure in a dust free enviornment).
