My laptop seems to be idling at around 47-50 and instantly starts to reach 92-94 on almost all games (Even stuff like Valorant) before it thermal throttles at 95. I just got it a few days ago and I am more of a PC person, so I don't really understand the whole undervolting situation. Should I ask for a replacement? Is this normal? Almost all reviews I've seen show the temps around 83-85 on heavy load.

Specs:
Predator Helios 300 PH315-53-72E9
i7 10750H
RTX 2060

Sorry if this is a bit low effort, just copy-pasting this from the Acer forums since that didn't really help
 
Solution
Try changing the processor performance management in the battery options to 99 instead of 100 it will limit the cpu boost however it reduces temperature by about 15-20c good luck!!
