Overheats to 90+ *C under load on an Acer AN515-54 (8GB DDR4-2667 1x8, GTX1650 Mobile 4GB GDDR5) but add a good cooling pad and sits around 60-70*C during gaming at 2.4GHz, taking it to 4 GHz turbo is not recommended as it again bumps up the temps to 90*C.

It's good for a budget laptop around $900~1200. i5 is very suitable for most games. But will not able to handle modern 3D games more than 120fps with GPU that comes with laptop such as GTX 1650/Ti/MaxQ. I would recommend getting i7-9750H, as it has 2 more cores for multitasking and has better CPU options such as GTX1660ti and GTX1070
