A CPU should NEVER hit its max threshold temperature. The fact that you are running it at 95C 24/7 is absolutely terrible for your computer. You Acer won't even last a year of that. Why not invest in a quality laptop with a great build and cooling rather than waste money on a laptop every year. A laptop should NEVER EVER be running at 95C.

I buy my laptops from Bestbuy with the 1 or 2 year "anything happens and we replace it" warranty. If it dies in a year or so just take it back and get your brand new botter friendly laptop.

I've had the same laptop for years
Sager- i7, 16GB Ram, 256 GB SSD, Radeon 6990m
Most of the time it's a better investment to just re-paste the CPU/GPU. Buy some IC7 ($7.45 from Amazon) and some isopropyl alcohol that is at least 95% (higher is better). Use the alcohol on a lint-free cloth to remove the old paste (from both the heatsink and the chip) then put the new paste directly on the GPU/CPU. Tighten the heatsink evenly (i.e. turn each screw a quarter turn at a time) and that will help your temperatures a lot.
Also, if you take the laptop apart it's a good time to get all the dust-bunnies out of it.
Here's a photo-guide on the amount of paste to use:

i have 2 years warranty. After next banwave ill get new botting rig. also it wasnt cheap, i paid for it smth like 1k $$. How could i know that 2,5ghz i5, 8gb ram and gf 640m wont handle 3 bots? that setup shouldnt have problems with 3 bots, but its about acer aspire construction, rly bad cooling, i hope that it will stop working before mine warranty ends ;]

I have a old Acer 6920g. On full load its reaching 55-60 CPU and 55 HDD.
The thing is that i have mat cooler, they really help, and i have removed the cover below the laptop. Exposing GPU CPU HDD fan and heat sink.
I did that because my laptop had small filters on the vents of the lid that god clogged and there was no way to clean them. Even after i got a mat i still got very high temps and the occasional shutdown because of overheating. After i removed the bottom panel my cooler blows directly on the components. While i do get more dust because no lid i do clean my laptop with blow air often.
One thing that i do every month is remove the fan exposing the heat radiator which often has some dust on it. I have opened some friends laptops and when i did i literally found a thick blanket of dust around 3-4 mm covering the radiator.
What i would advise is to get a mat and find a nice cool place for the laptop(mine is a glass coffee table, which never gets hot and its normally cold to the touch).
Removing the lid will void the warranty if you have and some laptops are just not design to be removed.
As you see mine is quite easy to open because that back lid/panel is hold by 5-6 screws, most laptops are not like this and you need to literally remove every single part of them.
