    If you are talking about that the CPU temperature is 85C average, this is normal for a laptop even after undervolting.

    To reduce the temperature, you can use a cooling pad for better airflow. 

    Download HWiNFO and record the CPU and GPU temperature. Post the average and max temperature. How much did you undervolt the CPU by?
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.

    Open Acer Quick Access and turn on CoolBoost, this pushes the fans harder once past 85C, at the cost of increased fan noise.  Look at the threads regarding undervolting with ThrottleStop. My own Predator 17 G9 793 runs a good 15C cooler with CoolBoost on, CPU Core & Cache undervolt of -128mV, stock OEM thermal compound, Turbo Boost enabled, all CPU cores at max frequency. 

    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, which in your case is better to speak with the provider being so new.
