Hi, I've recently purchased Helios 300 with i7 9750H and RTX 2060. It's been about 2 months now. Every time I game in my laptop now, my CPU is averaging temperatures at around 92°C. Although there has been no performance issue, I'm well aware that this kind of temperature is detrimental to my laptop in the long run. Can anyone help me fix this problem? Or is it my laptop that is defective? I actually purchased Helios 300 knowing that it has very good thermal performance but it is turning out to be otherwise. Can anyone help me fix this problem?

    Need to apply new thermal paste.

    Default thermal paste is not good, acer done terrible job in this case

    Your laptop temperature limit is 89°C means when your temperature reaches 89°C-90°C system start decreasing GPU/CPU clock speed(thermal throttling)to protect your components.
    At that time you experience low fps,lag and shuttering in games.
    In this case, don't play games it may damage your system

    You are under warranty take advantage to it 
    Acer engineer will clean your laptop and apply new thermal paste
    First log your case and get your case ID
