Asus laptop overheats

I have an Asus laptop that I mainly use for schoolwork and some gaming.

ASUS ROG G551JM - i7, GTX 860M
4710HQ

The problem is that it shuts down when I play games like Expansim and Construction Simulator.

So far, I’ve:
• Replaced the thermal paste with Thermal Grizzly.
• Noticed that the thermal pads are not in good condition and should be replaced.
• Made large ventilation holes underneath the laptop for better airflow.
• Added an aftermarket cooling pad with fans under the laptop.

I also saw that there is an Asus laptop version of Bazite.
Would installing that help reduce the overheating issue
