Acer Nitro 5 AN515-53-52FA seems to run really hot.

It's two weeks old, and the CPU reaches 85-90c and even spiking to 95c when I'm gaming even on low-medium setting while plugged in. This is with CoolBoost on. The games I've tested it on are Skyrim SE and XCOM 2. I know the GTX 1050 can handle those games on high and all the reviews that I've read says that the temp should be around 80c with recent games on high. I have to use low settings unplugged with battery boost set to optimal to keep it under 80c. Is this normal?

Hi,
Have you tried using CoolBoost feature in Acer Quick Access application to reduce temperatures? If not give it a try and see whether it helps.

Yes cool boost is on. I even tried cooling pads. I’m still getting 75 to 85 with maybe medium settings. Any higher then I’m pushing 90 to 95.0

Hi,
I would suggest you to return it and get a replacement or a refund from the retailer, as it's a week old laptop, it shouldn't run hot, if you don't want to return it, send it for a service to Acer support centre for a service under warranty.

how do you undervolt? I'm wondering if it may have bad paste. I was thinking of changing the paste but I didn't want to open it up while under warranty.0

I would suggest you to undervolt it with Throttlestop and see whether it helps, all the steps and instructions are in the link below.
