    As can here read here, If you are getting temperatures above 95C, then you need to have the laptop repasted. Once the laptop hits 97C, it will start making games run slower. However, it also depends on where you are using your laptop. You should be using it on a cooling pad to allow for the best airflow.

    The primary fans are currently maxing out at just 4200 RPM, open Acer Quick Access and turn on CoolBoost look at the threads regarding undervolting with ThrottleStop.  My own Predator 17 G9 793 runs up to 20C cooler with CoolBoost on, CPU Core & Cache undervolt of -128mV, stock OEM thermal compound, Turbo Boost enabled, all CPU cores at max frequency (ambient temp 24C-26C).

    Elevate the rear or place the notebook on a cooling pad to improve the air flow, although the pads fans in general don't do much in the way of cooling.  If the game is not CPU intensive disabling Turbo Boost with ThrottleStop will also have an appreciable effect on the temperature.

    Consider Vsync (may require Triple Buffering on in NVidia Control Panel) as any more FPS than the display can physically refresh is mostly just generating additional heat.  Check to see if W10 Game Bar is not recording as this kills FPS and again drives up temperature.  If the high temperatures persist then the only alternative is to replace the thermal compound on the CPU/GPU.
