I was struggling with overheating in my Acer 5738G while gaming or other processor intensive operations. After trying many methods, I’ve found this to be the easiest and the most practical of them all. Also, this fix is for those who have already tried the hardware solutions such as cleaning the cpu fan. Now you can enjoy your games without worrying about your laptop turning off on you. Enjoy!.
