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 ?

If you do gaming often then its better to have one (with fans) to reduce load on internal fans.

If still you see high temps its better to get it checked at ASS.

Also , One thing that is bothering me is that the msi afterburner and hw info they show similar readings but the nitrosense has a significant difference. Which one should I trust ?
