Hey!
I bought a new laptop (which is Acer nitro 5) two days ago 
Core-i5 (8th gen), gtx 1050, 8 gb ram
I'm kinda worried because of my CPU's temperature while gaming.
With the Nvidia GPU staying at like 70+-, the CPU and its intel GPU leap up to 85-95
I don't think it's normal for a laptop so new? I also have a cooling pad
Thank you!

    I am also experiencing similar temps while playing games on my Nitro 5. The GPU temps is fine but CPU is a bit of a concern even though its perfectly within its limits. You can lower the temps by applying a thermal paste like Arctic Silver 5 and it can lower the temps by upto 7-10 degrees, or simply tweak your NitroSense app.
    Don't forget to accept my answer if I was able to help you out!

    I wouldn't worry if I bought it two years ago, or even half a year, but it's been only several days. So I can't apply thermal paste cause it leads to losing the warranty. And at the same time I'm not quite sure if I should take it to the service. I just read somewhere that 90+ temperatures are very bad for the laptop and should be avoided. So it hits 90 while playing on the first day and I'm like really scared.
