I own a 2016 Acer predator so i can't answer the 1st question but since 2 and 3 are general i will help you avoid some of the mistakes I made.
2. Check and monitor your temps. After about a year of usage suddenly my FPS for gaming tanked. I used Speccy and realised the motherboard was overheating. I opened up the laptop chassis and found that one of the fan connectors for the mobo was loose. Then the same thing happened but for the CPU and GPU. I changed the horrible gunk Acer calls thermal paste and voila-temperatures in high 60's to low 70's with a gaming load. My only regret is I over-tightened the screws and stripped some of them. Also clean the exhaust fans from time to time to avoid build up of dust which will increase your temperatures.
Get a good waterproof backpack to carry it with extra padding. If you use it for work and home(gaming) invest in an extra power adapter(don't need it to be the original one). That way all you have to do is plug it in and won't risk damaging the power adapter like I did. Plus its a real hassle to cable manage and carry the extra brick and cord.
3.I do recommend getting a good laptop cooler. I ordered this one but it hasn't been delivered yet.https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01469DJLM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Again a mistake not to use one from the start as it actually will boost performance since the CPU and GPU boost frequencies will be maintained if thermal throttling doesn't occur.

Let me know if you have any other doubts and congrats on your new laptop.

First you need to find out whether the stutter comes from the network or from the CPU being a bottleneck.

Short version:

If you are using OBS Studio then after or during a stream (after the stream ran for at least half an hour) go to View -> Stats and check Dropped Frames (Network) versus Frames missed due to rendering lag and Skipped frames due to encoding lag.

If it's not network then your CPU is still not powerful enough for the encoding preset you have chosen.

Long version:

Since I think it's more likely that CPU is your problem I am mainly focusing on CPU here.

CPU load of 50/60% would be fine - from my personal experience problems start if you touch the 75-80% range. But I am talking about peaks here, not average. If you constantly monitor CPU usage of your laptop you will notice that during relatively static scenes (e.g. a setup or AFK screen if it is not heavily animated or the main menu of a game) or even a full face cam scene the CPU load will be low.

During a game with some action you might be staying at a 50-60% range but there will always be situations with peaks where suddenly the encoder has a lot more to do. If you only look at average CPU usage you will miss those situations. Even if you constantly look at the task manager you might still miss this very short peak of 90 or 100% CPU usage, because the task manager also only shows the average of the last second or so. If the peak is shorter you won't see it because it might be averaged down to 70% usage while still making you drop frames.

Now you could look at other tools that measure CPU usage more precise but I don't think that is necessary because with the stream stats you already have your answer.

As long as you can rule out a network/bandwidth issue from the stream stats you can always 100% be sure that it's still your CPU being the bottleneck if you are dropping frames due to rendering/encoding lag, even if what you see in the task manager doesn't indicate that the CPU is overloaded.

Conclusion:

If you find the CPU is the bottleneck: either leave the preset as it is and live with the status quo, which will get you a better stream quality for most of the time but sometimes make you miss some frames here and there and show some stutter. Or if you think the stuttering is too much of a problem then use an even lower preset and live with having a little worse quality in total but no more stuttering.

If you haven't done it already of course also check whether you can take more load away from the CPU. Disabling the firewall/antivirus on the laptop during your streams and closing all other programs that you don't really need (e.g. I found that running OneDrive sometimes produces CPU usage even if it doesn't have anything to sync) might help. Also to minimize the OBS window during your stream so that it doesn't have to render it's UI. Even small details can matter, e.g. on my streaming PC I am also running Discord and Spotify and when I had encoding lags on stream I found I could stop them by making sure Spotify is not showing one of this preview videos (that produces CPU usage) and minimizing both Spotify and Discord. Interestingly what also helped was disabling hardware acceleration in both programs (doesn't make sense to me as that should actually take load away from the CPU but well, that was my observation).

Since you are using a laptop cooling might also be an issue. Many laptops cool themselves down by 2 things when they run too hot: increase the fan speed and throttle the CPU clock (desktop PCs do it too in theory but a lot more rarely than laptops). Again, this throttling could only happen for milliseconds without you really noticing but affect your stream quality. So you might also want to check whether you have cooling options, e.g. put the laptop in a cooler place or put it on an extra cooling pad for laptops. (example)

Ignore price and look a quantity and quality of reviews. This pad for example would be great. I have friends that use it and they don't really have any complaints. It's important to keep in mind that cooling pads aren't ever ever perfect, and if you feel like your laptop is getting too hot, close your application and give it a bit of a rest, maybe reduce settings for a while. I don't know what brand or model your laptop is, but some laptops run hotter than others. I hope it works out for you, a nice gaming laptop can be a great thing to have.

u/malakithdruchii · 2 pointsr/Alienware

Yes, sorry it is a stand and cooling pad as it is adjustable position.

I'd reccomend https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01469DJLM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_awdb_t1_SBcxDbQJXWMY3

I have 2 of them on my MSI laptops and they work outstandingly.

Edit: put in correct address.

This is the one I got. I’ve been using it in bed while playing dota underlords and it’s been great. In 2 hour plus gaming sessions in bed with this pad and fans running, my CPU temps float around 55-60°C which is nice and low. In more demanding games, my temps prob float around 65-70°C which is great

u/KSledneck · 1 pointr/computers

So youre looking for a fan controller? Speedfan should work fine. If your overall objective is to keep the laptop cooler you should look into one of those laptop cooling pads like this one.

u/OutruntheWind · 1 pointr/ultrawidemasterrace

My laptop is a little less powerful than yours, but I ran into the same problem. I'm playing ESO, which isn't that demanding, but I have the settings turned up high. I was even running into the situation where my system's temperature would spike and automatically shut down. I've had to employ a few strategies to overcome this.

  1. Make sure the temperature in your room isn't too hot. If the ambient temperature is too warm, then there's almost nothing you can do to get the heat out of the machine fast enough. There were some hot days this summer that I just accepted the fact that I wasn't going to game until well after sunset.
  2. As others have mentioned, don't run both screens at the same time while gaming. I also work from home, and I find that my system can handle my daily work just fine on both screens, but gaming is a no go.
  3. When you're not using the laptop's built-in screen, don't close it. I assume you're using a regular keyboard when you're using your ultrawide, but leave the screen open so that the keyboard is exposed. This will allow some more of the heat your laptop is producing to escape from the top. If you don't already know it, you can press the winkey + p to quickly switch between monitor modes.
  4. I bought this cooling pad: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01469DJLM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. The 5 fans are nice, but the biggest plus is that it lifts so high off the table, which lets fresh air circulate down to the fan intakes.
  5. My laptop and the monitor are also under a hutch, so I also had a problem with the exhaust heat from the devices accumulating in the restricted space. I bought a little 5" clip-on fan that I use to force fresh air into the hutch and blow out the hot air.

Your laptop's video card is overheating and slowing down. Make sure you aren't setting it on a soft surface like cloth and that the cooling vents aren't plugged up with dust/hair/schmoo. They actually make cooling pads intended to deal with overheating like this: https://www.amazon.com/Kootek-Laptop-Cooling-Cooler-Adjustable/dp/B01469DJLM

u/humbirdz · 1 pointr/MatebookXPro

How about a laptop cooling pad? I use one and my keyboard stays pretty cool.

Something like this.

u/holoholomusic · 1 pointr/ableton

Have the same laptop and the same issue. Sent it into apple and they replaced the bottom case and the logic board. Didn't really fix the issue although it's better than it was. They only charged me for the bottom case which was nice. Check activity monitor to see if any other process are running, I had to deal with spotlight always trying to index for some reason. Do a NVRAM and SMC reset if you haven't already. You could also try a cooling stand.

I'm hesitant to upgrade to the new MBP's since there are a few unaddressed issues with audio and using audio interfaces with thunderbolt 3.

u/Gaff_Gafgarion · 1 pointr/techsupport

those temps seem to be too high (above 90c) also thin body means there is less space for proper cooling I would buy those cooling pads for laptops like for example https://www.amazon.com/Kootek-Laptop-Cooling-Cooler-Adjustable/dp/B01469DJLM/?tag=gearbeacon-20

u/Sugazu · 1 pointr/Alienware

Late reply.

Its still on its way here. Chose free shipping which I will likely never do again. Anyway its this cooler but not this brand ( this coolers just a rebranded chinese item with various names). I assume the top 2 smaller fans will be right under the mesh vents.

I mainly bought it for the height adjustment for better posture but if the fans help out that's a plus. May also do a repaste(grizzly kryo on hand) and add a heat sink to the PCH down the road.

u/gyarados_ouroboros · 1 pointr/answers

Hey man, same exact thing happened to me, except my laptop is shittier. I bought this laptop cooling pad off of Amazon and it worked like a charm. I wish I had a solution for you that didn't cost $25 but I'm telling you, before I had this my laptop would overheat almost nightly, and ever since I got this bad granny it hasn't happened once. In fact, I offset my laptop just a little bit, so that the exhaust is positioned over one of the fans, and the cooling pad even keeps that cool.

u/SkidMarc2319 · 1 pointr/razer

Re: Overheating
I would recommend a laptop cooling pad, I got this one (below) and it works really well. I also got the Razer Core V2 from craigslist and as long as I'm running from the Core to an external monitor my barely gets warm (75°C) for BF1/PUBG/FO76.

What about something like that combined with That and I agree with HansWursT619, I don't consider removing the backplate is a good idea, it will be more vulnerable to dust and damages

u/MrAttomic · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

Most laptops won't allow that. I'd rather indulge in an external cooler. Since I expect you to be near a power outlet already, this or this are a good options. A little Overkill but worth the money.
