I didn't try out a cooling pad yet, but as a temp fix I used those big directory books and placed the laptop on it and tried playing GTA V for like 1-2 hours and it worked, without any lag. So I guess You should buy a cooling pad. I don't have experience with cooling pads, so I don't know which brand would be great.

Simple back everything up to a cloud drive or to an external hard disk.
Then make a clean install of Windows.
Download and install the latest drivers.

That's all. If you'd like to go further then I advise to buy a bottle of compressed air. Disassemble your notebook,  and blow away the dust.

If would like to go even more further, then remove the CPU and the GPU heat sink. Buy a thermal paste and repaste them.

Your notebook will be same good as when you bought it.

I had the same issue too, I upgraded my CPU's heatsink, changed from HDD to a HDD+SSD combo, placed the laptop on one of those laptop cooling desks that I got at Barnes and Noble, and (tried) using some kind of external liquid cooling (pumping water from a water bottle through tubes that wrapped around the desk and right below the laptop's hinge), although that failed because it started leaking all over my new laptop desk.
