No, it's not normal for your Acer Nitro 5's CPU to reach 100°C while playing Fortnite. Overheating can damage your laptop and reduce its lifespan. Here are some quick tips to help reduce the temperature:

1. Clean the Fans and Vents: Dust buildup can block airflow, causing overheating. Use compressed air to clean the fans and vents.
2. Use a Cooling Pad: A cooling pad can help improve airflow and lower the temperature.
3. Adjust Graphics Settings: Lowering in-game graphics settings can reduce the load on your CPU.
4. Update Drivers: Ensure your graphics and system drivers are up to date for optimal performance.
5. Check Thermal Paste: If your laptop is still overheating, consider reapplying thermal paste on the CPU and GPU.

If the problem persists, you might need to contact a technician for further diagnosis. If you need more info then visit youcine apk.

Just get a powerful (but silent) 5-fan cooling pad the size of your Nitro 5 laptop, it will raise the laptop a bit to improve circulation at the bottom inlet vents and the extra airflow will considerably reduce the overall temperature when you are doing heavy tasks.

Also turn off the integrated graphics, when gaming on the laptop screen it allows the cpu to run its graphics at the same time which in then leads to high temps. in nitro sense in the settings turn on dgpu option then restart laptop. it should then only allow the nvidia gpu to run all graphics. this reduced my temps as well as dropping the power plan management to the cpu by 15% in game on around mid 70s to low 80s.
