If facing overheating issues/sudden frame drops (means overheating), please refer this

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://rw-everything.software.informer.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.

For those who having high temperatures while gaming, refer to this:

QUOTE(Amal @ Feb 2 2015, 06:34 PM)
Haswell CPU is quite a hot CPU IMHO.

Try disabling the CPU Turbo boost.
It will help a lot on the temperature.

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.

Your CPU will limit itself to 2.5Ghz max.
This usually won't affect the gaming performance by much. Probably 1-5% only.

This work for me (also one of the victim who had high temps)

A big thanks to Amal! rclxms.gif Thank you!

Is the heat issue that bad? Wanted to get a unit soon T.T

Well, for me then yes it is, but not sure if other Nitro user having heat issues. There's a trick to reduce the heat though and it works for me. Btw, cooling pad isn't help anyway sad.gif

of couse cooling pad isn't help, if it direct contact with the copper pipe, then that will only help reduce for about 3-5'c.

Yeah that's what it pissed me off and I bought it for RM80, I am so stupid. mad.gif

i got a question now ...

should i go for the i7 4720HQ or i7 4710 HQ ?

Both difference is RM 20 after using the 10% discount from lazada.
*
Then you should go for the model with i7 4720HQ since its performance is better than i7 4710HQ biggrin.gif

hi, do you guys face this problem like mine.
I recently bought far cry 4(uplay legit), and i play it on 900p high medium setting.
The frame rate are about 30-45. But the problem is the frame rate will drop 20+ for a few sec then when back up, this is very frustating when playing a game.
*
Seems like your CPU is heating up, try to set the intel turbo boost off biggrin.gif

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

Nope I didn't repaste the thermal. Your laptop temperature rise again even you set the Intel turbo boost off?

I did turn off turbo boost, its just the same.
what I noticed thought when the gpu hit 85c, the cpu will downclock and the gpu usage with drop then along the fps will drop. but my cpu temperature are just along 70-80. I think ill send it back to check. Not sure I get a flawed gpu termal pasre or fan.
*
Hmm that's weird. My Cpu and GPU temp are normal while playing far cry 4 (not legit) even in med high 1080p settings.

How's the build quality? Temperature? Im tempted to buy one for gaming & some zbrush & flash animations.

Well, it packed with Intel i7 4710HQ/4720HQ (depends on models), 12GB Ram, 1GB SSHD and GTX 860m. This laptop cooling system isn't that great so it would be better to apply new thermal paste or turn off the Intel turbo boost off if want to avoid laptop overheating.
