I have a razer blade stealth from late 2020 and my temps while gaming usually sit around 80c. I applied new thermal paste and it helped a TON. If you are comfortable doing that I would highly recommend it. Find a guide on youtube. It will help a lot more than undervolting in my experience. Razer usually does a pretty good job of keeping voltages low on their end in the first place.
The other thing I would reccomend is getting a laptop stand of some kind. I use this and it gets the job done while being highly portable. It will also easily drop your temps another 5-10c.
I use these, they are great, small, simple and low cost:

I have this laptop. While it does get hot, I would say its not any worse than any other gaming laptop. Mine usually sits around ~82 while playing red dead after an hour or so. The keyboard doesn't get hot but if you touch near where the vents are it is pretty warm. Not a problem. I do have my CPU undervolted, didn't mess with the gpu voltage as that seems more intimidating and I was satisfied with my temps/perofmance. I would reccomend getting some sort of a cooling stand, I use this as its portable and it gets the job done.
You could get something like this.

Any 17inch cooling pad? I have like 4 that I use on an Alienware17R4, Area51m and M15R5....any of those would fit the X17 as well. You could also just grab some silicon laptop feet to stick under it as well.
Any reason to upgrade if I'm already using something like this?

I got these guys on Amazon and they do a good job of raising the laptop just a bit for better airflow. https://www.amazon.com/Ergonomic-Invisible-Portable-Magnetic-Computer/dp/B07NKP4MPZ
