already got a group, i welcome myself into this group then.

I upgraded my v Nitro by adding 128gb SSD to M.2 slot, and buy a seagate 2TB external hdd and crack it open to use for hdd part.

I also open up and re-apply a thermal paste using Xigmatek thermal paste i got spare. I forgot to make some before temp. for gaming. but usually I can get around 70C for GPU now.

and i dont actually like turbo boost that much coz it adds up heats and only provide some unsignificant performance boost, so i set my power profile to use 99% power to disable turbo boost.

what you guys have done to your units?

Wah.. Why don't just get a 2TB 2.5'' HDD instead of cracking your External HDD ? You already have the HDD beforehand is it ?

because the cost of buying a hdd 2.5" 2TB is rm50 more than just buying an external hdd. i bought the external hdd around 1 week beforehand, at first i was planning to just use normal 2.5" ssd only. but few weeks after that i found a good deal for 128GB m.2 for rm220 including postage on ebay, then it all from there.

the hdd it came by i put in the external hdd. i use the word crack, but not that destructive, just carefully open the external. haha.

The things that I done to my laptop is, everytime I take a piece of unused cloth to the toilet, make it wet, go back to my room and clean my laptop up like helping a baby taking a bath.





Fuck you dust.

yup, the keyboard and palmrest really is dust magnet. i also do dusting few times a day.

that temperature so freaking low haha

maybe i dont max out my cpu n gpu? using HWiNFO max i use only about 70%-75%, because my games i play not usually AAA FPS games.

In the comment section it says the GPU or CPU downclock itself to 800mhz is that true?

Want to ask leh, i play dota2, graphic settings all set to high, can get 60fps, but when playing halfway, it will drop to 20~30+fps then rise back to 60fps, frustrating indeed eh same goes to watch dogs, all low settings, smooth but halfway become laggy then smooth back again. Keep repeating. Any suggestion ??

For those with cooling problems i found a way to control the both fans speed , and i think that auto fan speed never use the full potential of those fans , because i got even 94°C cpu temp and the fans sound aren't nearly close to the nousy sound when i set them to max speed.
You need to download rw everything from here http://rweverything.com/ and launch it , then select the "EC" tab that is circled in screenshot.

Then go to 90x03 that is for right fan near the GPU , it should h;ave value 04 for auto fan speed , you must modify it to 14 for manual fan speed then you can modify the speed in the next column (90x04) with values from 99 to 60 , where 99 value is the lowest speed and the 60 value the highest speed , in the next column (90x05) you will see the actual speed of the fan
For the left fan near the CPU go to 90x06 and do the same thing: 04 for auto fan speed , 14 for manual fan speed ; and in the next column (90x07) set the speed with values from 99 to 40 , where the 40 is the max speed of that fan.
With the fans set to maximum speed , i never exceed 65°C in GPU and 80°C in CPU that is set to run with all four cores to 3.5GHZ from intel XTU.
I think that the cooling system potential on this laptop is more efficient than the one from asus G571 which is giant.
I hope that was useful for those with high temp problems.

Holy shit this works!. Thx! Another method for overcome overheating.

THIS HOLY TEMP! WITH INTEL TURBO BOOST ON! (With extra-high settings)

Well, your cpu probably overheating. Try this method.

Go to your Power Options -> Change Plan Settings -> Change Advanced Power Settings -> Scroll and go to Processor Power Management -> Change the Maximum processor state from 100 to 99.

This will not harm your laptop. It just let you turn off the intel turbo boost which cause the overheating.

Or try the method post by chiong1983. <= Big thanks to him

Nice. But didn't Acer V Nitro has a settings or macro key to set the fan speed to maximum ? My Z5 has it so I use it every time I'm playing high demanding game like COD AW.
Good temperature you get there should ask the TS to stick it on the first page so all Acer V Nitro user can read it.

it works man ! thanks
a bit noisy but i switched back to auto when i'm not playing games.

I will ! Thanks !

wow, good news! is it this method work to other laptop like g551jm? what is your max speed of the fan? can reach how many rpm?

what game is it? COD:AW gtx 860m can handle this kind of games in extra high setting?
