You don't need to undervolt your laptop, do this, first make sure that all your NVidia drivers are up to date and you are running the GeForce Experience also if you play games. Also set all the high-end games and software to run on the NVidia processor in the NVidia Control panel first. Also make sure that all cpu/gpu fans and the laptop vents are clean and free of felt and all the thermal paste and pads are of good quality.

After you need to get into the bios of your AN515-58 laptop and into the Advanced > Display mode > and set it to Discrete GPU only so as to disable the integrated cpu graphics, as that settings will make your cpu run allot cooler, also make sure that you have a laptop cooler to keep your AN515-58 base and air circulation flowing under the laptop. This will help reduce temps considerably.

Also, your AN515-58 laptop running at 8GB ram is what might contribute to the high cpu temps also, as 8GB is a very low ram capacity these days. To find out what ram your laptop is running install the CPUz software and look in its SPD section for the ram specs. Upgrade the ram to at least 1x 8GB additional and same ram module that Acer installed into your laptop oem or buy a completely new 32GB KIT as the max ram capacity will assist in reducing this laptop working temps considerably.

Also update to gpu Firmware version 1.04a and bios version 2.10 also as that will assit in your laptop running more efficiently and cooler also.
