My mindset is like this. FAN > CPU and GPU or CPU and GPU > FAN (Thats me though). So i set fan as max speed when gaming and set it to medium or low depends on the temp. , fan is cheaper to replace i suppose than CPU and GPU.

Okay thanks , so while gaming let it full?

If the temp is ok then let it be if not set it up one level higher and check.

Okay thanks , if i go acer service center ask them help me change thermal paste with charges will they do? as if i change myself would void the warranty

This i'm not sure. Need some one with experience to answer you. Though with some $$, they might do it.

Im having my temp like 80+/90 for my CPU while playing dota 2 though.

its kinda too high. Furthermore im currently in an aircorned room.

for gpu would be like 70+/80+

I see ok thanks , will call on to acer service center by tomorrow.

For me as long it is floating around 80 celcius, i'm fine with it. For yours, yup it is high temp for sure (by my standards anyway)

Different people different view. Of course the lower the better.

Okay thanks , will have a compare with my friend v nitro , cause we bought 2 units today , mine is kinda over heating i guess. i already disabled turbo boost tho

Well, i disable turbo boost and undervolt my CPU. Since the turbo boost doesnt seem to increase the performance in gaming that much.

I see , setting the maximum what at the power setting to 99 right consider as disable turbo boost right?

how do u undervolt ur cpu mind telling me?

Using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. Easy to use. , Yup setting to 99 disable the turbo boost.

Need to download that? what step should i do after downloading that?

Lol, if you want to then download it then go to manual tuning, look for dynamic CPU Voltage offset and set it stage by stage (I go -25mV then stress test it for stability for 20-30 minutes after stress test is successful i further reduce it by another -25mV then rinse and repeat.)

Do note. When stress test (without gaming), you can undervolt more compared to gaming. So set profiles for normal usage and gaming.

Though the bad thing about undervolt is BSOD. There might be hidden risk so do it at your own risk.

Okay thanks , will have a look into it. Hopefully Acer do allow me to change my thermal paste without voiding my warranty. , as if asking them to do just i bring along my ic diamond thermal paste.

The thing is i prefer them doing while i'm watching. You'll never know what they do behind close door (My 2 cents).

Yeah i know , i will request them to do it right infront of me.

Maybe its my luck tho getting a faulty unit? kinda the temp is kinda high

Maybe. But most probably is the fan control setting that is set by Acer (From what i have gather).

My temperatures are also high. Playing Cities Skylines even with the lowest possible settings and resolution causes it to throttle. For D2 not so bad I guess but occasional throttling also (3+ games, 1 throttle). I think I really need to repaste :/

uninstall all the acer crap and still can get the indicator to work
