How to keep temperatures in check as undervolting is disabled. Owner of Acer Helios 300 2020 10750H RTX 2060

Recently bought the Acer Helios 300 2020 RTX 2060. Have been very pleased with its ability to render my architectural imaginations. However, ever since updating the bios gaming has been an area of concern as the 10750h constantly hits 90. The recent BIOS updates has disabled the undervolting of the chip (thx Pludervolt), but the CPU needs it to function satisfactory. Unable to rollback the BIOS and using throttlestop's   Speed Shift sucks and no other way of doing it through XTU. Currently keeping it under check through windows power management feature and limiting it to 99% max usage but it tanks performance. Also before the update, Cinebench scores used to be 2.7k+ but now without the windows limitation it goes till only about 2.5k. Unable to get satisfactory results. Please help!

Wouldn't that void my warranty?

they have a sicker at the bottom, any way of removing it without ripping it apart. It seems the sticker is made such that it would rip really easily

Quote people when responding bottom left corner near the plus sign so that people can see your reply. The sticker only matters if it says void warranty if removed but even that can't really be enforced in the U.S.

Thanks for the suggestion, Im really new here. Is there no way of tuning it via software, cause when undervoltng was enabled the cinebench score was near 3k. I actually would like to just roll back the bios and would definitely use ur suggestion of liquid metal the day my warranty expires, But untill then is there any way to do it through software. 

Again thanks a lot for your reply!

the default fan speed is too slow, use manual fans with higher speed or max fans

They're plenty of software that you can under volt machines on to lower power consumption but I don't have any experience with any of them so I have no clue. 

Edit: You could also get one of those laptop cooling pad things

It seems the CPU utilizes the complete thermal headroom cause putting it in turbo mode (max fan) rather than temps the clock speed seems to increase. And I wouldn't want the fan to be at max for 8 hours..... wouldn't it damage the fan ( also its really loud :( )

I guess thats the only real option I have at this point :( :( its already pretty expensive getting a laptop and spending more makes me feel guilty.
