Acer Nitro 5 Getting Very Hot

[Brendan1755]

So I recently bought an Acer Nitro 5, and ever since I turned the CPU to maximum power, It has reached temperatures as high as 85 degrees Celsius even with the fans on max. I suspect this is because i maximized the power of my CPU's but I dont want to turn them back down because then my laptop will not perform as well. Any suggestions on what I should do to keep the temp down?

I am a Acer Nitro Owner. 85C is actually a VERY VERY bad temp.
In fact, you shouldn’t be going on 80 on a laptop.
80 degree Celsius is known as the Danger Zone.
Once you reach that point, that’s when the throttle and wear and tear happen.

80 is bad for what?

It’s bad for Acer Nitro.

It’s bad for Acer Nitro.

This is why i said it should be on a hard surface, not a soft surface while gaming.

Yes but you were wrong on some part. Your CPU should be less than 75. Anything more is risky and bad.
OP, if your fan is already at max, then maybe something is wrong with the paste. Acer used a shoddy quality thermal paste that dry up earlier than it should.

That is not true, my CPU should be under 90C. Right now it is 70C with little overclocking.

Except this is a laptop CPU, not a desktop. Laptop CPU are much more fragile and usually locked behind a bios.
Desktop have much better cooling, allowing them to go higher in temp as desired.
Laptop tend to have below the average cooler. It'll get hot faster. I absolutely refuse to let my CPU go above 75 degree range. Anything more is bad for Acer Nitro or laptop in general.

OP, you might want to see this, if you have the same configuration as in video.

The laptop is not a better cooling and an average five years lifespan anyways.

5 years lifespan? That’s actually short. Most laptop should last up to 8-10 years not less. My sister laptop, it died after 4 years of use. Cause of death? Cpu shat itself due to constant overheating.

I haven't had a laptop in a long time but got the impression that nowadaya (post-2010) they were like junk that generally barely lasted longer than two years. An HP one I had back in like 2004 lasted me a bit even after taking some tough hits (literally) and broke by being crushed, but after that I would just run into people handing me laptops to fix and the screen was gone and just had issues that weren't worth the hassle of repairing. Are they still good?

More than just overheat.

The main reason that people's laptop broke. Dirty, dropped often, virus, counterfeit adapter, counterfeit battery, high speed and show slow vibration, and whisker from lead-free. I have seen counterfeit break power jack on my brother's laptop, but I fixed it with soldering for ten dollars.

Even I told my friend about my 19 years old laptop and they said their laptop never lasting that long. So the average of my friends' laptop is 4 to 5 years.

Yeah hardware quality improved from decades. It depends how you keep your laptop in good condition. With regular cleaning and monitoring your temperature every time a while to see if anything changed, your laptop will last surprisingly long.
My desktop lasted alright. 8 years old because I maintain it. Now it just crap itself due to outdated cpu (from 2008-2009) and slow hdd.

So, we agree that your laptop lifespan vary on individual and how they take care of it, yes?

Yes. It is one of the reasons I don't like RoHS.

I too am a Acer Nitro 5 user. What you are talking about is the optimum desktop CPU and GPU temps. Laptops (without undervolting) will experience high temps as the cooling isn't as good. So, gaming laptops and especially ACER Nitro and predator products are built to withstand high temperatures.

In short, 90 C on Nitro is normal. If you conitnuously keep gaming at 95+ C then it is time to apply Kryonaut Paste.
