This doesn't seem like a good idea to me.
Anyway, I've solved the heating issues by disabling the turbo boost and slightly undervolting the processor (about 0.05 to 0.1 volts) while maintaining the same performance. This seems to be a common workaround according to the MSILaptops sub-reddit. Idle & gaming temperatures have dropped by 15-20 degrees by doing so; old games like SA:MP and Garry's mod run at about 60-65 (without max fan speeds) and Battlefield 1 runs under 75 with spikes to 77-78 sometimes. Since I don't play resource intensive games very often, the temperatures mostly remain between 48-68, which I think are normal. I still wish I could bring the idle temperatures down to the lower 40s or even 30s, though.
