I've owned this laptop for over 2 years? past 3 months the fans have been really audible and my laptop has been getting really hot.
sometimes when I play league of legends my FPS is at around 10-20 fps. (unplayable)
The only way I know of fixing the problem was to restart my computer.
If I'm lucky, I would have only needed to restart my computer once to get a stable 60 fps on league of legends.
However, no matter how many times I restart, dota2 and sc2 are forever unplayable for me at the moment because of really low FPS.
The fps problem started only happening when I leave my computer idle for a bit, but now it happens even after restarts.
I reformatted my computer hoping a faulty driver was causing these crazy temperatures.
No luck though, right after I reformatted I installed speedfan and it showed my computer idles at around 65 °C right after start up.
Leaving my computer on for about 40 min idle with nothing running makes it go to around 80 °C.
playing 2 league of legend games makes my laptop go to a whopping 90+ °C.

Any suggestions on how I can lower the temperature on my laptop or fix my fps problems in games?
I would really prefer not to disassemble my laptop though. It seems too lengthy and I fear I might damage or misplace some stuff.
Anyone know what is causing these crazy temperatures or my fps problem and know what I should do?
UPDATE:
I recently blew into every crevice in my laptop with a hair dryer on cool setting.
what I was expecting was massive amounts of dust to fly everywhere since I've never done this before and have been using this machine very often for over 2 years.
However, to my surprise, I literally saw no visible dust leave my laptop while blowing it.
Good news is my computer currently idles at around 65 °C but my load is still at like 85-90°C.
More good news is that I can finally play dota 2 with a stable 60 fps!
I'm pretty sure my fans are alright since I can hear them quite well. and speedfan shows them changing RPM.
oh and none of my stuff is overclocked.
I'm pretty sure idling at ~ 65°C is still pretty high, so anything else I should do?
