Is it normal that my Acer Nitro 5 AN515-55 cpu temps spike to 95° and above?

I recently got myself the 2020 acer nitro 5, and i am concerned about its cpu temperature spiking to 95° C , whilst playing World Of Tanks at ultra graphics, ive experienced severe fps drops few times too, normally it runs at 130-150 fps, but i had it drop down to like 30 for few secs than it went back up again. Should i do something about this? Is this damaging my cpu?

Intel Core i7-10750H

Nvidia GTX 1660 Ti (Mobile)

Hynix HMA81GS6DJR8N-XN 2x8GB RAM

WDC PC SN530 SDBPNPZ-512G-1014 512GB SSD

I am also adding a screenshot of my nitrosense temperature graph, that temp was reached after playing only 1 game of WoT, than i changed the maximum processor state to 99% so it wouldnt overclock, and the temperatures went down significantly with only taking away 15-20 fps, but it feels not right to not use the full potential of the pc, is there any way i could reduce the temp without losing the devices performance?

I would definitely invest in a cooling pad for your laptop. Sadly these aren't desktops and cooling capacity is going to be limited. Getting a quality chiller pad should help. Other than that I have read of people applying higher quality thermal paste to the CPU.

Thanks for the advice, ill try getting the pad, thermal paste also sounds like it would help but im too scared to take my pc apart cause of warranty.

I am about to re paste my brand new Nitro 5 2020 model. Plenty of info on here and YouTube looks simple as long as you have the correct tools and take your time. Should see a 20* difference in temps.

What did you use instead of the pink gunk mate? I'm tempted but apparently that stuff is not normal TP.
