I have the same laptop, the cooling system works fine. CPU sits in the 40’s during normal use. I ran furmark and CPU burner, 84° was my highest recorded temperature on CPU with fan at 65% once best the 80° threshold. The 4070 stays even lower.

Not a pad. Just a stand

There is stuff open even though you don’t physically have anything open look in processes in task manager

Is that setting your laptop settings to best performance?

I suggest doing a fresh windows install, and the ram usage when idle will drastically decrease

It will remove some of the bloatware, not all of it

I suggest doing a fresh windows install, preferably using an autounattend.xml to get rid of all the bloatware. You need to be a bit tech savy though. Ram usage does not matter. Unused ram is wasted ram. Ideally, you want as much ram to be used as possible, so everything stays ready and loaded. The os will take what is available and free it when another application requires it.
