Have you got [https://www.msi.com/Laptop/support/GE72-6QD-Apache-Pro.html#down-bios|latest] BIOS and vga drivers installed?
How old is the laptop? Only asking as seeing it is from 2015/2016 and that it is a gaming laptop, perhaps the thermal paste would need to be refreshed by now if it has been used for gaming a lot. Also maybe the GPU fan needs to be replaced if you think it’s faulty.
Gaming uses a lot of resources in the laptop, which means heat. So the faster that the heat can be removed by better thermal contact between the CPU and its’ heatsink and the GPU and its’ heatsink and then expelled by the fans, the cooler the processors will operate.
I don’t know the thermal specs for the CPU or GPU but in general the cooler that ICs can run, the longer they will last
