15 R3, heating up

Question

Hi all,  I have been having this issue with my Alienware, which i bought from a friend 4 months back. The Specs are  Core i5, GeForce 1060, 16 gb ram.  The issue is the temperature reaches around 91 degrees and i fear if i continue playing over it , it might burn. The CPU Temp stays around 60-70 but GPU goes insanely high till 91 Degrees. I have tried Undervolting etc but of no use. I cant even change fan speeds in MSI Afterburner as the option is blacked out and cant be selected. Updated the bios and set fan speed through bios as well but any suggestions other than thermal re-pasting at the moment ?  Can someone guide me how i can prevent that high temps or is it normal to do so ?

It’s not a good idea update BIOS on Alienware due to custom parts. Try to rollback BIOS version.

Hi there,  How can I downgrade the bios drivers? And I hope it ain’t risky in any way!
