I need some trouble shooting. I have Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 Ryzen 7 4800HS, GTX 1650, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD Model.
You may know it has different System modes .Windows, Silent, Performance and Turbo.
I did some of my Cinebench R20 Tests(I know not the ideal tests to do here) with Performance and Turbo modes and I saw that my Temps at Performance are hitting 95C. But in Turbo it is hitting 85-90C.

I know it is obvious but the Fans are LOUD in Turbo Mode and also that the Power Delivery to the GPU and GPU are bumped up.
I bought my laptop about a month ago and I want to use this it for about 4-4.5 Yrs, I watch this video


and this guy disabled the the Performance mode (I think) and he makes an argument that it beats 'most' of Intel chips even in the Normal mode(which I guess is the Silent Mode) But it do drops Temps like 25-ish C.
Ok so who wants to reduce their performance? (Am I right? lol) No one. and In Comparison to Performance mode the Silent Mode is WEAK.
The Max I game on my laptop would be 2 Hrs on a stretch. So my Simple question is Should I do as the video

says or do I keep the settings as normal Factory Settings that it came with(i.e. Performance while Plugged in and Silent while on Battery) to get longevity with my Laptop and so it doesn't Thermal Throttle after 2-3 Yrs?
 
since your gaming is limited and generally speaking, heat should be avoided, I'd be taking whatever path lowers my temps the most without reducing performance too much.

I mean the difference between one mode and the next may not even be perceivable to the mere mortal and if so, but there is a big temp difference, why not take the slight speed hit and run the rig cooler.

work out what your main usage is. if it's Office apps, email and web research, you don't need much perfromance boosting for those.
