Hello,
https://imgur.com/9Lbd2Lh - TEMPERATURES
I was thinking it was drivers but I noticed lags start when CPU/GPU temperatures are higher then 80. Is it normal for such a laptop or should I give it back to the support or maybe can I fix it by myself. Laptop is 10month old
Yep, it's normal for this laptops' cooling solution, and even not critical at all. Critical is 90+°C.
Out of box I got 80-85°C with peak value 88(89)°C and 78°C on GPU. As I get it, it's impossible to reach lower temps with such cooling system. To achieve stable 70°C on CPU/GPU I was made to disable Turbo Boost an set FanBoost at max 5200 RPM.
By the way, with 99% processor state you miss 100 Mhz CPU frequency. To get full nominal 2,5 Ghz call register editor (Win+R → regedit), go to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Power\PowerSettings\54533251-82be-4824-96c1-47b60b740d00\be337238-0d82-4146-a960-4f3749d470c7 and in Attributes graph set "Attributes"=dword:00000002. Then in power plan options "
Processor performance boost mode" will appear. Select "Disable".
Full list of modes:
dword:00000000 - Disabled - Don't select target frequencies above maximum frequency.
dword:00000001 - Enabled - Select target frequencies above maximum frequency.
dword:00000002 - Aggressive - Always select the highest possible target frequency.
dword:00000003 - Efficient enabled - Select target frequencies above maximum frequency if hardware supports doing so efficiently.
dword:00000004 - Efficient aggressive - Always select the highest possible target frequency if hardware supports doing so efficiently.
However, what I noticed (with HWInfo64) that with TurboBoost activated CPU cores start to throttle when one reaches already 80°C, but I noticed no FPS drops or lags during throttling even while 3-5h gaming session. If I get it right CPU throttles to prevent reaching high temps, not to cool down those it already reached. I never noticed temps reach 90°C on peak even while playing in summer. So, I thinks, lags are not because of thermal throttling. And with such temps there must not be thermal shutdown: latter occurs only when CPU temps reach 100°C or GPU reach 95°C.
Also, I got now 303 hotfix BIOS (GL553VD.303, 28.04.2017) and last win 10 update, and I have had no BSODs' for near a year I use my laptop (MATLAB/games).

At first I thought that it may be because of our model build that is causing the heat but my friend who also has the same model only reaches to about 75~83 C during heavy gameplay.
Did I get you right your friend also has GL553VD and he got 75°C average/83°C max?
P.S.: however it seems that it's impossible to reach lower temps with 1 fan/2heatsinks, I wonder if there will be some ventilation improvement if one removes DVD-ROM. What do you think?
