I bought the Acer Predator Helios Neo 16 for its powerful processor to help get more fps in CPU intensive games like Arma 3 which I play a lot. Unfortunately, whenever I put the laptop in turbo mode to be able to utilize the 5.8Mhz CPU frequency which help arma 3 getting more frames, the game crashes after a while.

After checking my laptop temps, it appeared that the CPU is reaching temps of 100 degree Celsius and thermal throttling even though the CPU usage is barely 15% as Arma 3 uses 4 cores only. This is really annoying and unfortunate. Is there any solution for that?
When I put the power mode into Balanced, the system stability improves a lot, but it does affect arma 3 performance a lot as single core frequency affects arma 3 fps drastically.

Any suggestions or help?

    1.Update Drivers: Make sure your graphics drivers (both Intel and NVIDIA) are up to date. 

    2.Check for updates in Predator Sense: Make sure that the Predator Sense software is up to date.
