Dear Acer Community, 
I have my laptop for more than half a year. One-Two months ago, I felt a heat in my fingers when I touched the keyboard when I played games, but I thought that it is fine and good for a gaming laptop beast, but after a months, my laptop's performance in-game was pretty bad, on Ultra 55+ fps but alot of fps drop that was unplayable, and I saw that my clock speed was only 300-800MHZ. I tried to underclock it but it didn't help and made my experience worse, from 95 degrees Celsius GPU+CPU to 96-97 degrees while playing games. I always kept my fan speed at max- 6100+RPM.
I need your help!

Thanks, HUGABUGA.

P.S Some things that I thought that made this happened:
Overclock
Underclock (Did it after the Overclock)

I have the exact same issue. I even did a thermal repaste myself using Noctua NT-H1 but to no avail. I have disabled turbo boost in CPU so it's peaking @ 85C (but this isn't a long term solution, I bet) but my 1060 6GB (not Max Q) goes all the way to 95 degrees while playing Modern Warfare on GeForce Experience recommended settings. I'm not getting any frame drops in-game so that probably means the GPU is not thermal throttling. Probably a problem with the thermometer for monitoring the CPU and GPU temperatures, I guess. 
But then, the keyboard is extremely hot 5 minutes into any game so that would again mean the actual CPU and GPU components are overheating... Help me!!!
