So I just bought a Acer Helios 300 with i5 10500h & RTX3060. Out if the box the temp is quite bad for me(ex desktop user, first time using gaming laptop)
60 idle 99° on full load.
What I did
Replace stock thermal paste with Thermal grizzly kryonaut extreme- temp drop -9 average.
Undervolt and limit the max cpu performance in batt settings then get to 41 on idle.
But the cpu is still thermal throttling on full load. Some stuttering during gaming in cpu intensive game. Bought an IETS gt300 laptop cooler and the stuttering during gaming reduced but it is still there and thermal throttling still happening ( checked in hwinfo)
Coming from dekstop this never happened 🤣
Any other way I can help improve the temp
Thanks
Try reformat the Windows, might be some Acer's drivers or bundled apps might cause the CPU to load heavily thus throttling it.60 idle 99° on full load.

After reinstall, do install each drivers at a single time & do a restart for each drivers. Test it again before continuing to install the next drivers.
Repeat the same steps until you find which drivers or apps that is causing the issue.
Also you might to want to try nVidia's generic drivers instead of using Acer's own drivers.
