g7 7790 overheating, cannot undervolt

I just got a g7 7790 i7 7050, and when it's connected and I load up a game, it immediately shoots up to 100°c and stays there, unless i disconnect the power cable. This really worries me, as I won't be able to play as long as i want. I read here and there that undervolting works wonders to reduce heat.  Now, xtu does not support my processor and throttlestop is not enabled in my system, I was able to install it but it won't let me move things around. I am looking to buy a cooling pad, but my hopes aren't too high on that being an ideal solution. is there anything that can be done about it besides that? I wouldn't like to go through the hassle of getting a refund and looking for a new computer.

    Just about nothing short of an Alienware Area 51m can sustain full speed without throttling, and even those can throttle.

    Reduce the processor speed and the video level to a point where the system can dissipate the heat generated.

    Thank you for your answer! I'm very new at this, so which program can I use to reduce the processor speed?
