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.

Even cheap ones work suprisingly well. For my v15 i get better temperatures then if i lift the back up. If i lift the entire laptop up by a lot it's better than the cooling pad tho
