I just got my Acer XV 15 laptop and while everything seems to be running pretty well, I've noticed that the laptop heats up pretty badly towards the back while I'm playing games.
Does anyone know of any fixes for this?
FAQ & Answers
Hi,
It's normal to get high temps while playing games, however, you need to keep checking the temps with a monitoring tool like HWmonitor or similar utility. The CPU will shut down the laptop if it goes beyond the accepted level but if it rises above 85°C-90°, you need to take action to bring it down.
