I own a predator 17 x 703d laptop. Problem is my cpu temperature keeps hitting 96 C when playing games.
Predator's sense maximum fan speed do only so much to keep it cooled, so there is this CoolBoost on Acer Quick Access to help further cool down the laptop.
Without it the fan speed is at 3700 RPM, with CoolBoost it rises up to 4200 RPM and brings down the temperature from 96 to low or mid 80 C.
However the CoolBoost does not stay on, RPM starts dropping down back to 3700 RPM as if it was never enabled when the system is under heavy load.
Funny thing is, it stays on when it is NOT under heavy load. Like youtube.. or playing very very low graphics game.
I talked to acer customer service about this, only answer I got was.. CoolBoost is not supposed to stay on all the time...
Why do I need CoolBoost if it only works when I don't need it? when CPU is already cool? and it will stay on forever as long as I am not playing demanding games. I don't get it.
I can't play any games at the moment because I am just killing it's lifespan right now.
