Nitro 5 overheating

hello! So I have a Acer nitro 5 AN515-52 i5-8300h and GTX 1050ti version. When I bought this laptop, it was overheating already. It used to reach temperatures upto 85 degrees under gaming. Now that it's about 8 months old, that temperature reaches upto 95 degrees. I have tried thermal repasting it (I used Arctic mx4 thermal compound) which seemed to work fine for about a week or so until it started overheating again. At that time, I thought that maybe i applied too much paste or something so i did it again but this time I saw no effects. Whenever I play CSGO, the laptop easily reaches 95 degrees but when I play NFS Run (a comparatively lighter game), it reaches upto 65-70. With tomb raider and Rainbow Six Siege, it also reaches 95. So what should I do? it hasn't even been a year. Also, is my laptop still under warranty if i thermal repasted it and installed a SSD?

Predator and Nitro products are engineered to withstand higher operating temperatures than traditional notebooks. These systems include features that help with cooling and heat dispersion. The CPU and GPU are designed to handle temperature spikes in excess of 98 degrees Celsius without causing damage to the components. It is common for PC temperatures to spike temporarily during heavy gaming or graphic usage. If the system encounters excessive temperatures that could damage the hardware, it will automatically shut down to protect the components from becoming damaged.

90+ temperature not good in this temperature your clock speed of gpu/CPU decrease and you experience lag.thermal repasting is permanent solution for temperature.

Is there is any seal or sticker in back of your laptop on the top of screw?

you can try by doing undervolt and check, but Acer dont recommend it.

I understand that but it gets really really uncomfortable. What's more is that right after repasting the temperatures dropped but now they rose again. And if I take my nose close to vents, it genuinely smells like something is burning (nothing is but idk it smells like that).

There was one but I had to remove it to install the SSD. I'm guessing that voided my warranty?

I undervolted it too (using throttlestop) but that didn't work at all. Like at all. Not even a single degree temperature drop.

If you remove then your warranty will we void.visit service centre for upgrade and thermal repaste.

Click yes if i answer you question

I have already done it so there's nothing i can do.

@GAMING6698 read his post above he has already removed the sticker so he might as well do the repaste

My friend @Andylb tells you next steps.i don't know about temperature case

I already have my man. That's what i have been saying. I have already repasted it using Arctic mx4 thermal paste. But I still can't see any results. There were some in the beginning but not now.
