I have same type laptop with you and exactly same issue. I've repaste mine with thermal grizzly kyronaut and get temp 5 c lower. Then I use 5 fan cooling pad with 5 cm lift bottom, give some air circulation, just help 5 c lower. Last, I used throttlestop and undervolt cpu core by 0,1850 cpu cache by 0,170 gpu by 0,120. By those all, I get 73 c cpu and 65 c gpu when play pes 2018. while play ffxv, 80 c gpu and 70 c gpu. My place tropichal tipical with room temp is 30-35 c. Last time I play in AC room, the temp goes to 67 c cpu and 60 c gpu. Hope this help you

no problem until today

How do you do a 5cm lift?

Predator and Nitro products are engineered to withstand higher operating temperatures than traditional notebooks. These systems include features that help with cooling and heat dispersion. The CPU and GPU are designed to handle temperature spikes in excess of 98 degrees Celsius without causing damage to the components. It is common for PC temperatures to spike temporarily during heavy gaming or graphic usage. If the system encounters excessive temperatures that could damage the hardware, it will automatically shut down to protect the components from becoming damaged.

Click on 'Yes' if the comment answers your question!

How do you overcome excessive temperatures?

Does that temperature effected your laptop's life. Is it working fine except the temperature spike?? Cuz I'm planning to buy same laptop @trungggg

Did you underVolt your cpu or used used thermal paste to lower the temperature? @trungggg btw thanks for the response! Also needed to ask what's your spec

 I bought this Acer Nitro 5 around October last year. And i havent played serious games on it or anything. Since recently even when i dont play games or anything my laptop randomly heats up. Even when CPU usage is at 8% the heat goes up to 98c degrees. My GPU usage is 0% but heats up to 40-50c degrees and even when i am running literally nothing my GPU usage goes to 90%. I maxed out the fan speed and activated coolboost and after about 15 mins things cooled down to normal. Why is this happening and what can I do about this? I have a 2 fan cooling box underneath my laptop as well for extra cooling but this is getting in the way of my work. I can't take my laptop out without it heating up to 90 degrees. Please give me a solution. 

Even now its heating up like crazy. And the only things i'm doing is reading about how to fix this on opera and texting on Discord. This is insane. I feel really sad i spent my money on this laptop. I would've used some more and went for a Asus Tuf if i knew this was this bad. I already had a previous issue where the laptop was so slow it became annoying and i had to switch it off a few times by long pressing the power button. And then there was another issue where the intel optane memory would not work. I had high expectations for this laptop but its only disappointing me a lot. i will never buy a Acer laptop ever again.
