Helios 300 overheating
While playing CS:Go My CPU temps max at 100C and average near 95C. My GPU temps max at 95 and average at 90. Is this temperature too high? What can I do to reduce the temperature? Will updating my BIOS and drivers help?

Those temperatures are very hight gpu st 90-95° it is way too high, I don't think updating drivers would change much,give it a try,if it doesn't works contact acer and send it to warranty0

To reduce the temps you can repaste the CPU and GPU with high quality thermal paste like thermal grizzly kryonaut and Arctic MX-4. You are going to lose the warranty if you repaste it yourself. Also you can reduce the temperatures by undervolting the CPU with XTU by intel, or Throttle Stop.
If you are confident that you can do the repasting yourself, which is not hard and you don't care about losing warranty, I suggest you to repaste it yourself. If you don't want to lose warranty and feel comfortable waiting weeks for Acer to fix your laptop, which I think is very unlikely for them to do it properly, go for it - warranty repair.

not at all0

Others were idling around 34-40C. My Laptop went into autoshutdown twice and i have logged about 20 hours in 100C. Will this have caused any problem? Can I know all the options to reduce the temps. It is completely a no brainer to buy a gaming laptop and not game in it just because it overheats. I'm in this mixed state for around 2 weeks.

Yes it is, considering that you fans are set to auto, and are not spinning at their maximum speed.

There are only 3 options to reduce your temperatures.
1st - repaste
2nd - undervolt the CPU -150mv
3rd - send it to Acer for repair

Repasting will void my warranty right? Even when my fans are at max the temps lurk around 43C.

Will repasting it in a authorized acer service centre in India will void the warranty?

my one same problem going over 90°c easily while gaming,i am in india,can i go to acer care ?0
-
Did u buy in India..I bought it in the US..So there is no chance of replacement. They say that using the laptop in an AC room will reduce temps by at least 5 degrees and I think it's logical to reach that temps since I m playing CSGO for prolonged hours in small room with 9 other laptops0
-
I m also getting this in india, can you please confirm and give your honest opinion about this device. Share contact numbers. Even i want to play cs:go and all latest games on this. Right now it's in USA where the average weather temp is just about 25 degrees Celcius and the laptop sits at 50-60 degrees when idle cpu 2-12% usage but in india delhi we have hot climate and average weather is around 35-40 degrees.0

Ya i bought in US only and i am using in ac but temperatures are going above 90 easily while playing f1 20160

Have you guys updated your bios to version 1.05 and latest nvidia drivers which is on acer's support website. You should make sure cool boost in ON in Predator Sense application and Fans set to AUTO0
-
That's the only thing we didn't do and honestly I feel that won't make any difference. We can use a cooling pad and sit in a open room with good airflow0
-
Have sent you my contact number you guys also share yours. Check you private message.0

If you want to drop your temperatures repaste the unit yourself or send it to Acer for repair. You can also undervolt it.
