My 27 months old Acer predator 17 g9-791 is constanlt running at 90+degress (CPU). Fans are on max all the time but the temperature is still on 90+ celsius at 15% cpu useage. I found a lot of dust on the fan and cleaned it but the problem does not go away.
CPU i7-6700hq
 
Solution
Clean the entire thing out of dust and try to replace the thermal paste on the processor with new one. That old thermal paste is probably crusty.
