Acer laptop overheating during gaming - temperatures exceeding 90 degrees

Hello.
Recently, I noticed that my laptop is overheating while gaming. Temperatures are sometimes over 90 degrees. What could be causing this The laptop is Acer brand, if you need more information, please ask
Greetings.

Welcome.

This type of equipment is usually not suitable for long-term loads. To put it simply - laptops are usually not suitable for games.

In addition to the cooling system, which is unable to remove the amount of heat generated under constant high load, there is also dust - if the cooling is clogged with dust, its ability to dissipate heat drops significantly. If the laptop is not the newest (and judging by the 3rd generation of the processor - it is not) - it is worth taking it apart and cleaning the cooling system from dust. If the thermally conductive paste has worked long at such temperatures, it is also worth replacing it. After replacing the paste and getting rid of dust, the cooling efficiency should increase, i.e. the temperatures should lower.

I understand. Which paste is best to use because I've never done it (The paste was not replaced for 3 years, i.e. from purchase) And as for the laptop 3 years ago, it was one of the better and supposedly adapted to games. I used to have a steady 80fps and now they jump to me, can that also cause overheating?

I often use Arctic MX-2 toothpaste - of course they are better and worse, but this one is one of my favorites - it does not cost too much, does not stone up too quickly, applies well, and usually takes a good place in the tests.

Laptops with a thickness of 2-2.5 cm, which are often small and poor cooling, and in addition packed equipment that emits 70-100W of heat under load are suitable for games only according to employees of marketing and sales departments.

If the processor reaches some assumed high temperature, the phenomenon of "throttling" occurs - the processor clock is significantly reduced for a moment so that the processor can cool down. A moment later, it is lifted back up. Throttling is a hardware protection, but it is undesirable in games - from time to time you can see a significant drop in FPS for 2-3 or 5 seconds, depending on the temperatures. With an efficient cooling system, throttling should not occur at all (although some manufacturers had an optimistic assumption that nobody would be tormenting the office equipment with a heavy load, so you can give an average cooling system, and if the user boils the laptop under load, then throttling it will cool down, the equipment will not freeze - that is, everything is OK).

Would you kindly give a model of this Acer laptop ...
SpeedFan is not a very good laptop temperature monitoring program. HWMonitor will do better.
Besides thermal paste, the thermocouples should also be replaced. But that they have different dimensions and thicknesses, we could use this Acer model.
You can also replace thermocouples with copper plates of appropriate thickness + paste. However, as you have never tinkered with the laptop cooling system, I do not recommend you to do it.
Each one praises a different one I use AAB TG3 mainly. Inexpensive, good temperatures, long-lasting and non-conductive.
I'm also testing TG4 at the moment. Much more expensive, better temperatures, it does not conduct electricity. It is harder to apply, and if it is resistant, it will turn out over time.

Model:
V3-771G-53238G 75Ma

Added after 10 [minutes]:

SS with HMWMonitor without any load

Measuring the temperatures without load does not make sense, although this measurement already shows that it is definitely too warm. Clean the cooling system, clean the old paste and apply a new one, if it has previously withstood the load of games and did not cut - after such maintenance it should return to this state.

The laptop components emit about 70W of heat at maximum load, and the cooling in it does not knock your knees down (but as a consolation - you could have found much worse).

Thanks a lot
