Post Body

Let me start off by saying that I am very new to computers beyond general use so please be gentle. I recently was given a Lenovo Ideapad Y510p, I have the i7 with 16gb DDR4 and 2x Nvidia GeForce GT 755m GPU, 1 being an Ultrabay GPU. I am using SLI with physX undedicated. I've been running very high temps while playing L4D 2, 90° C CPU and 100°C on both GPU's. Im already going to change the thermal paste and maybe replace the heatsink if it seems to be in bad condition. I watched a youtube video on how to do this to the CPU and both GPU's which leads me to my main question. Since I use external monitor, mouse and keyboard would it hurt anything to leave the keyboard on the laptop off for more airflow and if I can not can anyone offer any insight? Ive spent hours combing forums for solutions but since the laptop is so old most of the solutions are out of date. Thank you if you read all this! laptop setup
