There is a disgusting 75°C tempereture limit of GPU set by lenovo and cannot be changed by any way including:
-MSI afterburner: the temp limit was locked and seems to have no way to unlock it
-GPU tweak: although I can change the temp limit to 94°C for quiet a minute, the laptop changed it back to 75 automatically, I tried to many ways to protect my settings but didn't success
-bios: there isn't a choice to shutoff the thermal control of this laptop
-uninstall the "lenovo intelligent thermal solution": this virus like thing cannot be removed from my computer, everytime when I login to my computer it was installed back

Lenovo also set an official temp limit at 75°C for CPU, thus, I met excactly the same problem when I try to set my CPU temp limit. BUT, the lifesaving Throttlestop installed from your website really works, I think maybe it can lock the tempreture settings and make it unchangeable for lenovo, which makes my CPU temp limit to be hold at 95°C.
I will be extreamly thankful if anyone can teach me how to keep my GPU temp limit at a higher level, I saw people with similar problem who has contect lenovo's official forum, but lenovo seems to be not willing to fix this feature.

Ok everyone, I give up. I set a scheduled program to restart the GPUTweak.exe entiely every minute, and this really helps, I can now keep my GPU running at a normal tempereture.
