you bought for 3499? didnt know the price increased. if your not sure dont tinker with stuff in afterburner, as long as fps in game is high should be no issue, clock speed is low to maintain low temp and low power draw

do you guys know how to clean the smudges on the laptop. lol, the laptop is a smudge magnet. I've tried using a screen protector cloth, but it doesnt really do the trick

@shadowlck did you change the thermal paste? i think acer's thermal paste job is maybe just shit

Just to let you know, Nitro fan kicks in a little late, you need to wait for it to spin
Also, I think by default they are using stock thermal paste, it sucks. So just ask them to use IC Diamond or any other good thermal paste.
Can you try on other game as well ? Cause so far what I know is, 860m is not suitable to play Far Cry 4 on mid high settings. This game is very demanding same like Crysis 3. Watch Dogs and AC is also another example, but mostly it is because ubisoft game is always not optimized
Try lowering your resolution to 720p.

Well 860m is not high end GPU. It can play latest demanding game, but not in high resolution + high settings. COD AW is okay as it is 2014 game. Some 2014 and up coming 2015 game may not work well.
I think better send it back to have a check. Cause for Nitro to go till so high is quite unusual, cause most user temperature is <85 degree c

i dont think its a hardware issue, the game is just demanding thats all

Hmm that's weird. My Cpu and GPU temp are normal while playing far cry 4 (not legit) even in med high 1080p settings.

Just got mine today. But got problem. Fps in game quite good but suddenly will drop and stutter for few seconds. Happens very often. Like every 30 seconds fps will drop and lag. then go back to normal? Why is this?
-No overheat
-Latest drivers
-Using nvidia gpu not intel

Just got mine a few days back .. so far so good no issues with wifi or crackling sound .. point to note, i've updated everything via acer care center, also I've updated the BIOS to v113 ..

On the overheating, how does one consider an overheat? I've overclock the GPU via MSI to +133 GPU core +100 Mem .. the highest temperature recorded after playing heavily modded skyrim at 1080p was 89c .. still, I didn't really feel the heat on my palm too much and the game run smoothly at 50 - 60fps constantly (no lag) .. I also tried to overclock via XTU, but didn't make much different so I disable that ..

Frankly speaking, I've never consider that my V15 were overheating until I read this thread haha .. So,  now I'm on a mission to reduce the heat ..

I read about advice on RWEverything  on this thread and try to follow the advice, however there is NO EC TAB on RWEveything .. how do I enable that? Or is it because I've updated my BIOS those value no longer accessible? Anyone care to help?

Thanks ..
