Hello, I have acer aspire a515-56g laptop with cpu Intel Core i5 1135G7 2.40GHz, since it's summer I've been sturggling to play some of my games, because once the laptop temperature reaches 75-80c, it starts overheating and causing frequent lag spikes and fps drops, I've tried several fixes but I couldn't cure the issue.

I really need help in undervolting my cpu, I never tried this before and I'm a bit concerned about messing up with the settings, so if anyone has the same laptop/cpu and did this before, please help me I really don't know what to do.
 
The Intel G7 series does not support any undervolting. Only the mobile HX and HK series allow undervolting.

Post a screenshot of the TPL window and check the Log File box before you start playing. There might be something else ThrottleStop can do. With locked down Acer laptops, usually not.

I'm not going to mess with anything, I just wanted to inquire about this because I don't have any method left to try.
I used a support under the laptop to allow the air flow, I tried reduce cpu power from the battery power mamagement, I also tried a software called "Camomile" to decrease the temperature but all of these things didn't solve the issue.

decrease the temperature
Intel CPUs can run reliably at high temperatures. Attach a log file.

Part of the problem is Acer locked the thermal throttling temperature to 92C. Intel says the recommended max is 100C. That is the main problem. The CPU will start thermal throttling and slowing down well before it should. This reduces maximum performance.
