I found this after playing Infinite Crysis for 1 hour today:

Should I:
a)Repaste GPU 1+CPU with Arctic Silver V.
b)Make Real Homemade Laptop cooler 3.0.
c)Try to decrease ambient temps using AC.
d)None of these.

OK. I just did a "Kirtan" test.

way too high temps ...specially for idles. in your first pic , your CPU reached 90+C temp just like that and the power drawn was like less than 20w!
even your gpu temps are too high...

an ideal temp range should be 80-90C for IVB QM chips.....and 80-85C for nVIDIA Kepler cards......GT650m.

A and B (Buy any cooler from market). Also try to clean your laptop fan and undervolt your cpu if its possible.

1. Yes , but before you do so , perform a stress test on GPUs , and monitor the load on both the GPUs ( average load.) . See if the 2nd GPU is also getting heated when it gets stressed.

Clean your laptop vents , fans and everything possible. Dust particles cause lots of problems when it comes to system cooling.

If that doesn't help then make a laptop cooler , ( I don't know what is this "Make Real Homemade Laptop cooler 3.0." . But any laptop cooler which provides ample air to the intake vents should suffice. If possible use Desktop fans which run at 12v or higher. They'll create lots of noise , so choose a silent one. )

A would be a better option. Also try to clean your laptop fan and undervolt your cpu if its possible.

I don't think its easy to undervolt 363xQm series CPUs. I have never come across a successful undervolt procedure for 3rd GEN Mobile IVB.
Underclocking yeah , bt undervolting no.

1st pic shows a high temperature in idle scenario mine and is the first pic is also with AC on?

First Pic is with AC off.
It's not ideal. Infinite crisis is not a very demanding game.

applying a new thermal paste might help.

I think I did an extremely lousy job of applying Arctic Silver V.

Tearing down the laptop once was enough pain. :(

check using hwinfo just to make sure the readings are correct.

like the person above me said , check with multiple softwares and also check for the speed at which your laptop's fan is operating.

^^Can't check fan speed in Lenovo Y500. Same results with both softwares.
