I've seen so many great tips on temp control on Acer Predator's can i just check this is normal?

Hi folks,

Thanks in advance for any help. So i've recently picked up an Acer Predator Helios 300 (PH317-53) and i'm really enjoying it. I've kept an eye on the temp, first with the predator sense then with Intel XTU as i've been told Predator Sense actually increases the temp of the machine. Most of the time it's fine but it occasionally spikes in temp to the 90's. Could i just check if this is normal and ok or should I ask for it to be replaced? If it makes any difference I replaced the 2 4gb sticks of RAM with 2 8's. I have seen the guides on here around undervolting but i've noticed they undervolted it already by -0.125 should i try -0.130?

I've attached a log of my machine playing Battlemech for an hour, if that helps. Any help appreciated!

I use hwinfo to monitor temps, it doesn't hog cpu like sense garbage and has more comprehensive stats.

Also, can you provide the exact model? example an515-51-75kz.

Mine is Acer Predator Helios 300 [2019] (RTX 2060) PH315-52-74DX and the max it has gone is 92*C. The scond time I played the battlefield V with ULTRA settings and except DXR (RayTracing), the max it got was 89*C and then when it switched on TURBO mode, it went down to 83. The room temperature was around 25*C. Is it normal temp? Should I be worried?

Also, please note, when on battery, the avg temp stays between 35 to 42. But when AC power is connected, the avg temp goes to 55-60 (sometimes). Is it good?

Thanks in advance!
