Hi, I'm currently using Acer Predator Helios 300 with i5-9300h and RTX2060 and it gets real hot when gaming. The max temp reaches 90-92°C. However, if I disable turbo using ThrottleStop the temp will reach about 72°C when gaming but my frame rates drop until it's real noticeable (e.g during team fights when a lot of skills are being used). Is there a way to fine-tune the settings so that it doesn't exceeds 90°C+ and the frames are still alright. I manage to undervolt it to -130.9mV and the screenshots below are the current settings I have. Should I adjust the turbo ratio limits in FIVR (screenshot_2) or the Turbo Boost Long/Short Power Max or the clamp in TPL (screenshot_3) ? Not really sure as I lack knowledge in this area. P.S, I'm alright if it hits 80ish°C.

Gaming laptop... seems normal to me...
You need to be 'alright' if it is hitting 90Cish...

Lower temps are always better, but not for the detriment of performance...
Note this says 100C TJunction... https://ark.intel.com/content/www/u...-9300h-processor-8m-cache-up-to-4-10-ghz.html
At 100C, the CPU will start to throttle back naturally. Around 105 or 110C, it will automatically shut down.

Yep, I am running an Acer Helios 300 with an i7-8750H and a GTX 1060M. Mine regularly hits 88-90C during gaming, with both CPU/GPU throttling down when 90C is hit.
There is one thing you can do to help this. Download "PredatorSense" and turn on "CoolBoost" in the top right. This will increase the max fan speed and help keep temps down. However, it is much louder than it with it turned off (of course).
