New laptop CPU gets very hot when gaming and charging [Acer Predator Helios 315-51-70KM]

I recently bought a Acer Predator Helios 315-51-70KM and I noticed that when I play a game with the charger unplugged the temperature of the CPU/GPU stays within 50-60 degrees but when I plug in the charger the CPU's temperature immediately jumps up to 80 degrees and when I keep playing it'll almost get to 90 degrees. This only happens when playing a game, if I plug in the charger when browsing the internet or watching a video it doesn't change much.

Does anyone know what causes this and what I can do about it? The games' performance seems about the same whether the charger is plugged in or not so I'd rather keep it cooler.

Thanks in advance.

This is normal, cos when charger is not connected, the output of CPU and GPU are scaled down to match the power battery can provide. I would advise to play with charger connected. These temperatures are normal.

Try following the threads below to help reduce the temperatures.
