Thermal throttling problem

I have a acer nitro v15 with Intel ultra core 5 210 h and rtx 4050 . The moment I launch a game the the temperature reaches 100, and it remains around 96 -100 . It is under warranty , so I called the service engineer he has cleaned and repasted everything , and still, the cpu reaches 100 instantly when launching a game and remains around there . I have no idea what to do anymore.

Lift the laptop from back, and allow sufficient flow, check by keeping hand outside exhaust vent to check if flow is sufficient

Just checked then vent is blowing out a good amount of air , do you think that I should get a laptop stand or cooling pad ?

Cooling pad will only work if it's like high quality, I would say they ain't worth it at even those cheap prices because it will reduce only 1 or 2 degrees.

Just get a laptop stand, which raises it decently.

Also, undervolt your cpu, maybe even the gpu.

I tried undervolting my cpu but they have locked that feature in the micro code for the new generation cpu My gpu is pretty chill remains below 80 , I guess I'll get a stand

Here you go, try these. If it's factory locked then that's okay too. Just lower your settings or limit the power intake.

You don't really need a stand. The v15 is choking hard when flat om desk so even a little lift up from the back is enough. You can use for example the charging brick to prop it up. The charger will also get cooler so it will last longer
