Please help for any settings so that it heats less playing games while charging
Hi,
I have a simple solution for the over heating problem.
The laptop overheating because of the cooling design it's mainly targeting the GPU not the CPU, So you have to do is lower the CPU performance by 20-40%
according to the temp that you maintain. basically you need the temp around 70 below. So follow the instructions below to lower the temp.
1. Control Panel -> Hardware and Sound -> Power Options -> Edit Plan Settings -> advanced settings
2. the select processor power management -> maximum processor state -> plugged in -> change 100 to 80-60.
If this method works put a like and if you have any doubt on this tag me and then reply
No removal of turbo boost required.
Having messed around a bit, I've found that dropping the CPU performance to 98 percent and setting the Nitro Sense app to 'Balanced' power settings, it'll run at a steady 45-50 deg. C, and doesn't seem to affect the performance particularly.
I too had same problems,
I had nitro 5 with ryzen 5 cpu and RX560X gpu
my laptop takes 5 to 10 mins to start.
And installing repack games take 4 to 8 hrs !! Lol!!
I feel heating in right tie! It means under hard disk!
Its because i received the product with poor health hard disk.
I replaced my hard disk with new HD and SSD. And reboot my OS.
I know its kind cost more! But its the only solution to solve the problem permanently.
Dont waste your time in youtube videos like ' How to increase gaming perfomance in acer nitro 5' and ' How to install Nitro sense in acer nitro 5' .
Its may helps bit ! More youtube post videos , only if they had a same problems , May be they had a solutions ! But its not permanent.
Replace your hard disk.
Thanks

I think the company like Acer that claims to cares about cooling solutions should figure out some better ways to cool its laptops. (just saying)
On my Nitro 5 with ryzen.... it never overheats and the fans never hit max speed even under heavy load during gaming.
