At what speed should i put my fan at? As mention by one of the forumer here?

For gaming tho , would running the fan speed at max let the fan rosak faster? LOL

Yup, wear and tear.

So what speed do you recommend me to set at?
*
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. biggrin.gif , fan is cheaper to replace i suppose than CPU and GPU. tongue.gif

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

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+
*
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.

Using Intel Extreme Tuning Utility. Easy to use. biggrin.gif, 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. sad.gif , 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).

Wow. I thought most laptop now comes with locked BIOS so you can't do those undervolt stuff already. Good to know that software can be used rclxms.gif

The one i have is 4720HQ with GTX860M rather than 960.

If gaming 80+/90 consider safe?

Well, the Tmax for the CPU is around 100 Celsius, you be the judge. tongue.gif

Hi all!

I am a new member, based on Italy. I registered on this forum mainly because of this thread  smile.gif I hope I am welcome!  biggrin.gif
So I recently bought the 591G (4720HQ, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD and 960m 2GB). I ordered it a few days ago and I hope to receive it soon, should be in my hands before the next weekend. Paid around 930€ for it (shipped and taxed).
I also ordered an SSD drive, the M.2 SATA 250GB Crucial MX200, to toss in alongside the mechanical hard drive that is already inside. I was thinking to dual boot Win/Linux, so both OSes will be installed on the SSD.

As I already stated, I hope to receive the machine soon; I didn't read each single post in this thread (it is a bit long), I will slowly do it when I have time. But I want to be prepared for when I will get my hand on the computer, so I have a few question if you're nice enough to answer.

1) Is someone kind enough to summarize all the flaws/problems that have emerged about this notebook? Can you also share your personal experiences?
2) Is someone also  kind enough to summarize what I should do/check as soon as I receive the laptop (maybe things that were discovered to improve performance/usability, things that I should absolutely avoid and be aware of or problems that my unit may have and I should check immediately)?

All in all, I think this is an awesome machine for its price; I hope I will not be disappointed, can't wait to receive it.  cool2.gif

I will wait for some answers, many thanks to anyone who will take his/her time to help me through.  notworthy.gif

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

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