Undervolting Acer Predator PH315-51 Helios 300 i5 8gen 1050ti

I bought this laptop a week ago. And I started playing games like Assasins creed unity and cod black ops 3 and I've been getting temperatures core around 70-87 with Assasins Creed Rogue and max 97 and that of GPU is 86 with Assasins Creed Unity and COD Black Ops, all settings at ultra and even after setting them to high and resolution 1366x968. This is the result after undervolting my core with -0.115. What should I do about fixing these temperature?
Should I be undervolting my GPU as well? If so, then to what value?
What temperatures are okay for this series laptop? I want a long life for my laptop as well. Pls help.

You can try to undervolt the gpu also to see your temps after but if your temps are still high i recommend a repaste contact acer support because if you do it yourself you will probably void your warranty (depends on some countries) ask them if they would use your own thermal paste if they agree get some kryonaut or similar and send it with the laptop dont forget to always backup everything you need before you send it as they might restore it to factory

Can i undervolt GPU using Intel xTU?
and to what values should I undervolt?
(After seeing the result I'll decide about sending my laptop to Acer support.)

I would use TS instead but its up to you as you already decided to send it back i hope its gets properly repasted please report the results when you get it back

i said after undervolting if I get any good result then I wont have to give it to acer support, so pls help me by answering the above ques.

Intel XTU does not undervolt the nvidia 1050 Ti graphics card. You can undervolt the integrated Intel GPU within the processor, but that will not affect the dedicated GPU.

Are your Core and Cache undervolt values matched? If not, ensure the cache is also undervolted -0.115v.

Use the program 'MSi Afterburner' to undervolt the GPU (link in signature). It has built-in auto-overclock feature which will raise the core clock speed as high as possible with the least amount of power. It takes 30-40 minutes to benchmark/test, but I think it works well. I am able to achieve ~1850MHz core and 2250MHz memory speeds out of my 1050 Ti. Compared to stock, it is quite cool even after extended use.
