I had the same problem with my Helio 300. I7-8750H CPU and 1060 6GB. I managed to get incredible results on temperatures by undervolting the CPU ( I am still continuing undervolting and testing, but so far my system is stable at -125mV on core, cache and -0.605 on Intel GPU.
1st of all try undervolting ( there is great tutotials in youtube and in this forum also. You can use this link.

Go through  

"Acer Predator Helios 300 - Windows Optimization Guide" then 

Acer Predator Helios 300 - ThrottleStop Remix - Undervolt Guide - Overheating Fix / Optimization

Hotel Hero did a great job making this guides. 

2. Second thing you might want to do is lifting the notebook from the table by inch or two. Best way is to get a cooling pad beneath it.
3. Third thing that helped me is optimising the games via Nvidia Experience. I did it game by game, because for some of the games it reduces the graphics too much. For them you can do it manually in the game.

Doing this 3 things reduced the temps from 95-99 top on the CPU to average 75, spikes to 85 ( ON ULTRA SETTINGS )

Good luck

Hi I created the videos posted above.
While those videos surely will help reduce temps, they are not for your specific model.
I have just purchased a Helios 500 and will be making tweak guides for it as well so keep an eye out.

Awesome!
But what can one tweak in Helios 500?
Temperatures are already quite low in this model.

Working on videos for the 500.

As you said there isn't much to it just random tweaks here and there.

PH315-51 is 300 with either i7-8750h or i5-8300h

I hit 80c average and the occasionally 90c for a second spikes playing Far Cry 5. Undervolting and a cooling pad might have helped. I don't know if they do much though. I got a GTX 1060, i7700hq.

Also try limiting FPS to your screen refresh rate max. This too would help significantly.

Far Cry 5 hits 40 fps max even though my monitor is 75 fps.

Did you follow the youtube videos posted above?

Simply optimizing windows can mean the difference between 98 C max and 75 C max. (Even if you've undervolted a unoptimized system will perform poorly)

Yes I did. Still the same.

This might be a bit late for this thread, but I recently got the predator with i5 8300h and 1050 ti on a sale. 
In what voltage range can I find a sweet spot for undervolting the cpu? Please specify the values for the core as well as the Intel gpu.
 I searched a lot but could only find the data for older and newer i7s.
Thanks.

Turn off Whisper mode in geforce experience

What programs are running in the background? Perhaps sending to Acer to repaste would help.

Same problem goes with me . While playing farcry 5/Mafia 3 / fifa 18  temp hit around 95 to 96°C . 
I have tried to under volt with throttlestop and Intel xtu none of those showed any proper result after that I contacted service center to get repaste still after repasting nothing happened . Please any one with any solution can share im really worried with my predator . 
Im using it i5 8gen - 8300h . Gtx 1050ti

Did you try using an external USB fan (connected to external power supply) and pointed to area right above the Fn keys?
