I have Acer Nitro 5 AN515-52, the temperatures are reaching 97 C on the CPU and around 90-95 C on GPU, CPU throttles down to around 2000 MHz and GPU throttles too, makes games unplayable. I have tried replacing the thermal paste twice, using both Arctic MX-4 and Kryonaut, none have helped. I have tried undervolting using both ThrottleStop and Intel XTU. I have also called for the warranty service and got my cooling system replaced completely, still nothing(The temperatures did drop to 80 C but returned to usual in 4-5 days). All my drivers are up to date, I have tried installing older versions of the drivers but no luck. What should I do now?
