for reference, this is a Acer Predator Helios 300 laptop.
when i'm playing games that require a heavy load (Remnant: From the Ashes, MHW: Iceborne, etc.), i'll notice that during gaming, while my computer "idles" around mid-70s to low 80s, i'll notice completely random, absurd spikes into the 90s, but, it'll immediately go back down to the norm after about a second or less and level out. nothing bad seems to be happening, but it does worry me just a lil'. i did recently dust out everything and replace the thermal paste on my CPU/GPU since it had been over 2 years since i got this laptop.
i'm using this cooler with it as well.
i just want to know if i should be concerned with these random temperature spikes or if it's just something that happens. like i said, as far as i can tell, it's only a very brief, 1-ish second spike before it goes back down. i'm wondering if i should maybe go back in and try re-doing my paste again, though, i don't think it'll help.
i was also wondering if there was anything else i could possibly to do reduce my temps other then a cooler. i heard something about undervolting?
