Hi i have an acer predator triton 300 i7 10750h rtx 2070 max q design and my cpu has over 90 degrees when runing gta 5,fivem,apex and literally every game.I tried to undervolt with throttlestop but my turbo ratio limits tab is locked,i heard i can fix that only if i will downgrade my bios that is extremely risky and i dont wanna do that,i tried with intel xtu also but with no results.Any help please?

90 degrees + most of time is not good for your laptop, Both Undervolting and optimizing windows work great to reduce cpu load and temperature

-First follow this below windows 10/11 Optimization Guide completely and check if you notice any drop in cpu temperatures
Windows 10/11 optimization guide for gaming — Acer Community

-Capping your fps from RTSS or from nvidia control panel greatly reduce cpu temperatures, You can try to lock your fps at 30, 60, 70, etc in which you feel enjoyable experience for you

-(Try this if your temperatures are still high ) If the BIOS has locked turbo ratio limit adjustments, go into the ThrottleStop TPL window and lower the Speed Shift Max value to reduce your CPU speed. For 3.6 GHz, set the Max to 36

(Don't try update or downgrade your laptop bios)

Hi @ Swetu123

This is normal. Intel validates these CPUs to run reliably up to 100c, and laptop manufacturers take advantage of that and design their cooling systems to keep the CPU below that. Most mobile chips run that warm under load and it does not affect reliability.
