so i have a helios predator 300 2022 series, rtx 3070ti and the hotspot is hitting 95c while the main gpu temps are around 70c to 80c depending on the game. in astroneer its around 65c in american truck sim its hitting around 75 to 80c it has been repasted by a tech store using gc extreme thermal paste and they used upsiren putty for the pads. is the gpu hotspot supposed to be that high while the whole temp shows its around 75 to 80c?

    Your model Predator Helios 300 released 2022 which is the model number PH315-55 with the GN20-E6 NVidia gpu which is the RTX3070Ti gpu that is hitting 95°C in gaming is normal, as this laptop is set for its OS to shut down when its CPU temp reaches 100°C, which is a safety temp and if the laptop has all its required software updates, it will not reach.

    What I suggest that you do is make sure that you are always running the latest NVidia game ready drivers that will be updated through the NVidia GeForce App and play your games (if they are supported by NVidia GFE app) through the Nvidia app for the RTX3070Ti best settings and to keep the gpu cooler and perform at its best settings.

    Also make sure that you have installed the PH315-55 latest bios 1.12 and firmware 1.02a for the VBIOS NVVDD EDPc for this laptop, as then your laptop will perform at its best and at its lowest cpu and gpu temps. Also buy a laptop multi fan cooler like the Thermaltake Massive 12 Max, as that will also assist this laptop in reducing temps when you play extreme games that raise the cpu and gpu temps. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

    The cpu and gpu temps that your laptops should have at the below fan rpms is what Acer tested this laptop at, so your PH315-55 laptop cpu/gpu temps should be the same as below.
