Always like this ，So this is gaming laptop？Are you playing with me?  acer   bios is 1.13  CPU R5 2500U+GPU RX560X

Unfortunately, 2500u sets frequency of all cores to 2GHz when CPU temperature hits 70+ degrees.

acer locked the frequency of the laptop to be under 3.06 ghz after bios upgrade i still doubt if its a gaming laptop anymore seems to me more of normal laptop

BEFORE gaming make sure your Battery is charged to 100% and then KEEP it plugged into charge whilst gaming, 

Make sure your graphics drivers are updated to this version or higher and click express upgrade



Make sure High Performance is selected under Power Plan in Nitrosense when on AC



After that make sure your RX560x is selected in Switchable Graphics for your games and your games are set on High Performance, you must import your games .exe using the Browse tab in pic below

I benched mine under Stress and was well over 70 deg and maintained 3164mhz throughout

3164MHz all 4 cores and 8 threads?

Maybe 2GHz all cores can be reached in case, when you use dGPU RX560X (like in games), so you can't see it in only CPU stress test
