Hi! I recently updated the gpu driver onmy Acer Nitro 5 AN-515-42. (Vega 8 and RX560X) I noticed that the Radeon Chill function is missing in the Radeon Settings application. I already tried reinstalling the driver. Anyone got a fix for this?

    I second what @tobimaru says. The Chill function is only available from the original driver or the Acer driver available from Microsoft a this point in time.

    As far as I understand it, you won't get this feature with the generic driver update.

    Your original driver was specific to your laptop model and included the Chill function. You then updated to a newer generic driver, without this feature.

    I'd recommend rolling back to your original driver to get the Chill function back. If you've already tried that let us know! I don't have a lot of experience on the AMD/Radeon side of things, but I have had similar experiences with nVidia driver updates and losing specific features.
