    Send it back to repaste preferably check if you can send them the paste you want on it i recommend kryonaut if you do not have any warranty seals or if the seller where you bought it allows you to open it to upgrade the ssd you can do it yourself without voiding the warranty it all depends on the country and seller/shops they all have their own internal warranty policies but if you can't do it yourself send it back as i stated

    Follow the links in my signature to under volt GPU too. This too helps cool significantly. Set your CPU UV to 120, instead of 135.
    Tune your windows disabling any unnecessary services.
    Set up a custom power plan; windows 10 is notorious to pushing back to high performance plan at will.

    Tips on how to lower your temps in predator helios 300 :- 
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/12d2sl4-T63AoJ_VPneykE7_1ofPbTdKT/view?usp=sharing
    this is a file to get the option  processor performance boost mode

    By default both option is set to aggresive in high performance mode but if you disable this it will turn off your intel turbo technology and limit the cpu speed to base clock. And even in ultra settings you can play game at 60fps smoothly, before  this my cpu temp goes max 98 C and after  applying this my cpu temp is below 70 C always. Hope this will work for all of you also :) 
    Sorry, my english is bad.

    This will disable turbo from never turning on, effectively limiting performance of processor to its max non turbo speed; pretty much achievable by simply setting processor max value at 99 instead of 100. This limits performance under high levels of loads.

    In fact, I would recommend setting the value to disabled on battery and to passive when on power; this will allow for turbo speeds less often still turning it when absolutely needed.

    Hi, i use acer nitro 5 with i5 8300H / GTX 1050
    1. I change thermal paste with Arctic MX-4
    2. I undervolt -0.150v

    My Temp will be average 70-85c while gaming with coolboost ON with AUTO FAN MODE

    Use MSI Afterburner and undervolt the GPU - this will push temps down by another 5 to 10 degrees.
