ACER Nitro 5 AN515-51 - Very high temperatures

Hello,

I have an Acer Nitro 5 AN515-51 laptop with an I5-9300H. There have been problems with temperatures since the purchase, and all the solutions i tested did not work.
The temperatures fluctuate around 95 degrees, which brings a huge drop in gaming performance (the processor reduces the frequency to 0.9 - 1.2 GHz at these temperatures, CPU totally does not keep fixed frequencies in Throttlestop).

I have tried to use Throttlestop using several configurations and watching some videos related to this laptop. On the CPU Core / Cache - 125mV, the temperature drops by 1-2 degrees max.
When laptop has been purchased without changing power settings / using undervoltage programs, using the laptop in games for more than 20 minutes resulted in overheating and turning off the laptop.

I also reinstalled the system, the effect is the same. Increasing the fan speed has no effect. GPU temperature is okay.

What should I do in this case? I know that for some people the replacement of the paste with the Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut was effective, but I do not know about the warranty.
I've already looked at dozens of solutions, but none of them helped, so i ask the question myself.

Thank you!

    I was having the same issue before. I tried all possible solutions available on the internet, but these few steps helped me reducing my temps.
    1. Upgraded ram to 16GB
    2. Cleaned fans (A lot of dust was there inside the fan case)
    3. Repasted the thermal paste with the Arctic MX-4

    After doing these three steps:
    1. my temp while gaming never exceeded 70
    2. avg temp on casual use: 48
    3. avg temp on idle: 38

    Are you no longer having problems with your processor frequency? I could change the paste if it will not void the warranty. What screwdriver did you used?
