Hello all,Just bought v nitro today but the fan is whirring like mad when The processor is doing its thing.Is this normal?

It better be unless you want to fry an egg and assuming doing its thing meaning you are doing CPU intensive stuffs.

Nothing intensive really,just the first time startup and trying to get familiar with my new lappy.The sound is unnaturally loud and flappy

, install some third party temp monitor to see the temperature of the cpu or you are just not use to it. i suppose.

Yeah maybe i'll do that thanks,

Hey guys, went to service centre to replace my lcd panel which is hving a white spot and a dead pixel near bottom.. Now the new panel is even worse, dead pixel near middle of screen they get minor defect parts for cheaper price izit haiz.. never had any issue with pixel before on any screen.. now my first Acer product, got 2 in a row..

Jus had chance to play GTA V.. cpu reached max temp of 96 and gpu 93.. hvnt try settin fan speed to max tho..

Kinda disapointed wit acer

@shadowlck how did you get such low temperatures in game gta 5? i updated to the latest bios with turbo boost off and my cpu temp is ranging from 80 to 90 degrees while gpu remains below 80

That's because the fan of the laptop does not even run at half of it's speed, if you try to set the fan to max speed, it should be under 80c, well that's for me at least.

I also have the same temp as you have after play it for a long time.

I also have a white spot on the screen on the right bottom of the screen just like yours. It only visible when the background in white colour. Hope it doesn't go bad :/

Hye guys, I've been a V Nitro owner since Nov last year but just noticed that there is a thread dedicated to this wonderful laptop. Just a question though, to you guys who has updated their BIOS to v1.13, is there any significant difference as compared to v1.08?

I just bought it few weeks ago after compared to Asus JM551 and Lenovo Y50.
At the end,decided to took this.
To be honest very satisfied with this laptop, sound quality very up to standard.Screen is much better than Y50 as mentioned by many reviewers.

For me, there's not much differences after updated to latest version of BIOS. You can try to update it and tell us the differences you've seen.

Hey, the palm rest area on the right side gets uncomfortably warm. Is this normal under just normal usage? Web browsing only? Even in an air-conditioned room.

Previously when im using V Nitro i also encounter this. But it does not happen regularly, sometimes only. I think its because of the Hard Drive warms up.

Mine has been happening all the time. Currently using an external display and wireless keyboard so not rally affecting but those times when I check or have to use it on the go, it feels quite warm. For its price point, its quite unacceptable, if you ask me and I'm seriously considering having it sent back for warranty claims. Current CPU temp according to Intel Tuning Utility fluctuates between 51 - 52 degrees. Was using a Vaio before this and that device was always super cool (aluminum shell) no matter how hard I pushed it.

I did not notice any difference too
I updated cus someone mentioned the Auto Fan Speed should be better in the newer version.

Ah, if that's the supposed improvement then I'm willing to give it a shot as well, thanks guys! We'll be telling you guys if I notice anything different as well. As of the moment the laptop is very satisfying, gaming is pleasant and speaker volume is amazing compared to others but sometimes tend to suddenly drop down during gaming (noticed this especially in Warframe), any one of you experienced this? No heat problems for me but maybe I haven't really strained it yet.

So white spot on the screen is very common eh? I too kinda regret getting v nitro. Can see the coating coming off already altho its mostly on my desktop. Performance is good. Screen is nice to look at,except for that white spot. I thought of giving acer a chance..but I think I wont buy acer anymore.

51'C-52'C is quite normal for V Nitro bro.

Yap, can confirmed that its normal. I got 2 white spots on my screen previously. And yeah the coating sucks too. Thats why i sell the laptop. Lol.
