Where are you getting temps from?
77C is getting warmed up but should not be to the point of throttling.
Like xeromist said Keep her on a flat hard surface, not on your lap and especially not the forbidden zone of in a bed or sofa etc. They don't get a lot of airflow as it is and non flat non hard surfaces chokes it up even more. Smoke and dust will crud up your heat sinks and make them less effective and often to the point of just flat out useless. Once every 3 months all of my machines get a good blow down with a regulated air compressor with a dryer on it. For laptops I remove the service cover and back blow them. Sometimes its amazing to see how much crud comes out in just a matter of a few months in a relatively clean environment.

"Backblow" as per my opinion is to blow compressed air through the rear vents to remove dust build-up from the intake side of the heatsink fins. Sort of a backflush.
