PredatorSense displays that the CPU is at 80 while gaming and reached max 87.
GPU seems ok around 70 (max 72).

No overclock set, auto fan-control, coolBoost ON.
Any suggestion or concern about this high CPU temp?

useful information: 15" model, Bios v1.10, win10, nvidia drivers 388.71

    This are normal temperatures for a laptop. You can reduce the CPU's temperature by undervolting it with Throttlestop or Intel XTU. Start with reducing the CPU's voltage by 100mV and then keep reducing it by 5mV until the system crushes. Reboot and set the voltage to the last value the system was stable on. Mind that you have to have a stress test like Prime95 running at the background while undervolting. Here is a video showing how to undervolt using throttle stop.
    Always post the following characterisitcs of the device:
    -Model number
    -Part number(not required, but helpful)
    -CPU
    -GPU
    -Operating system

    Helios 300 and Nitro 5 users DO NOT update the BIOS to version 1.22 if you don't want the keyboard's backlight to turn off after 30 seconds even when the device is plugged in.
