The issue with my laptop is the following, I bought it somewhat year a go watched the specs and thought, ok, that will be able to run some games, and it did, for 2 months of weekend gaming, the most resource  required being ARK, anyhow as I said done some weekend gaming sessions, the got bit bored and work took away some time for gaming, something about 2 months later, decided to play some EuroTruck, loads fine, everything seems fine, the after some 20 min in game all of a sudden masive masive lag continiously, thought some patch issues or something, cos no way GTX950 couldn't run the game easelly, it did before, so decided to try other game Cityskylines and begins fine then again unberable lag starts. Then after some time of web research decided to get CPU temp program, and watched whats happening, and of course CPU running 90 C, have bought laptop with extended 3 year warranty, but to give it on warranty meant big inconvenience, to say the least, godbye to laptop for few month, so decided to give to local pc repair shop, so turns out somehow my laptop managed to melt the part of motherbord so the specialist barely cud unscrew it of, and he said that termal paste was cooked, so he applied the new one and run some idle testing and called me saying everything looks fine, so payed him his service and got my laptop back, hven't been able to fully test it, ran some few minutes City skylines worked fine, and thought that was that, Oooh so I thought, when just recently found something very interesting, lag on games was back but somehow didn't hear the fan speeding up when, it most deffinately had to speed up, and yeah of course CPU temps around 80 C, thought maybe fan is broken, ut its running just idle, so a big web search later found the program to that can actually test if fan was working, no correct settings could be found for my laptop, thanks acer for service by the way, tried from different model settings and to test it putting it on 100% and yeah its revs up just fine, so I thought, ok I'll my laptop on these settings then, ok startet to play Farming simulator, and during the game fan just starts boosting up and down every 30 sec to cool the CPU. So my question is, does someone have had similar issues, what could be the cause of it, or is it just I5-7200U CPU just no use for gaming, and if its so is it possible to change it to something else, but I doubt that.

    Lets start with the temperature - 80C is a temperature to be expected from a laptop and it isn't a temperature at which the CPU begins to throttle(usually throttling kicks up at around 92C). i5-7200u and all CPUs ending with a U letter are not meant for gaming, but that doesn't mean that the CPU performs bad in games. With 950M you don't need more powerful CPU, as it will perfectly run most if not all games at 60fps.

    The fans are set on auto by defult and the fan speed curve can't be changed, unfortunately. The laptop has been repasted and works better than before, but because the fan curve is set according to temperature(lower temperature means fans will spin slower), when the CPU heats up  the fans will speed up and after it cools down they will slow down and so forth.

    To lower temperatures even further you can try undervolting the CPU. The are many videos on youtube explaining how to undervolt.
    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.

    Thing is that it was running perfectly, the fan was reving a bit up when I started any game that used Nvidia card, but now its just lag, and every where I looked normal temps was suggested around 70 at max, not 80, and now if I disable the Notebook fan control program on 80 C fan runs idle, alos tried some cpu stressing, no fans just idle, also wanted to know is it possible to make laptop use more GPU resource than CPU, and what about changing CPU to something more gaming capable?
