Acer Nitro 7 - Are my temperatures normal?

Hi guys,

My laptop has been running really well since I got it around 2 months ago, added in a new 2TB HDD and just today upgraded to 32GB RAM. I've always been a little curious about temperatures as I just don't really know what is considered normal or dangerous. I've tweaked a few settings and undervolted today so I can tell you roughly what my average temperatures have been and what they are now.

Before undervolting and settings changes I was getting around 60C on both GPU and CPU when doing basic things - google chrome/youtube etc. The GPU often drops to around 50 or so too, but fluctuates between 50 and 60. Gaming (mostly GTA V, PES 2020, Clone Hero) I was getting around 92-100 on the CPU (very rarely hit 100, but I've seen it happen) averaging about 96. GPU would be anywhere between 83 and 93. Averaging around 85/86.

Today I changed my power settings in Nitro Sense from Balance [Acer Optimized] to High-Performance. I always have the laptop plugged in when I'm using it. For my undervolt settings I followed this video as I have largely the exact same laptop (only a RAM difference and I have an extra HDD) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtxTI0mDVTo.

After undervolting and settings changes I am now getting around 48-55C on the CPU and 45-50 on the GPU when doing basic things. I just tested with GTA V there for 10 minutes and after 10 minutes of play I was at around 92 for the CPU and anywhere between 80-90 for the GPU, but mostly low 80s. One thing I have noticed is both times I've booted up GTA since undervolting it has crashed after 15 minutes or so, that could be a problem with the game but it seems a little coincidental. Side note: also getting around 45-60 fps in GTA at 1080p on max settings... maybe I'm being too ambitious but I thought this laptop should be able to run that game without mods at a constant 60 no problem.

Just wondering if these settings are normal? I'm aware redoing the thermal paste is an effective way to bring temps down if needed, but I'm not really confident enough to attempt that as I know there is significant risk involved with possibly damaging the hardware.

Thanks for any advice in advance

lift the laptop a little bit to increase the airflow and u can lock the fps at 60

The Answer is

Nitro 7 have to be used Intel XTU (Extreme Tuning Utility) official tool rather than more porpular flexible freedom type 3rd Party

Don't waste much time with Throttlestop with trying to modify

The following are some experience sharring

Hi Bro Sorry for my late experience based on true stories of mine .
1st of all , mine is the newer 2019's 1660Ti one , with lesser 16gb Ram !
I see you got similar issues which are seem to be the negative part of budget based choice according to lower price to better performance indication!
If you actually suspect on your own will (what did you learn, how did you choose), No dude you did choose the right one !
only one material with the most affordable price in the Current market do be assured to be satisfiable more than enough for my wish!
>90% sRGB for my photoshop learning
1080p is my type ; my level of resistance in which my eyes could be totally Deal with Multitasking issues the whole da!
144Hz Refresh Rate being already the perfect safety measure for your eyes' health to be stayed away from the non-desirable exhausted nature being used to leading unwanted adverse things!

Thermal issues become unavoidable tradition ; may be the Bad **** culture within the gaming laptop technology!

I choose it for two options, as I said;
1.Entry level graphic designs learning

2. 1080p higher Fps only for two games , the same as you ! Pes 2020 and upcoming updates of Konami for struggling and trying to be a guy who used to build forever young mindset up as before ,
then the next is GTA 5 only offline for relaxation at home as you know when we got feel tired to deal with our real world issues , don't we need to open another world?

Ah… I am very talkative you may think , but … I don't care,
the only matter why I am here is to share my previous blind casual learning from many experimental issues and how could I fix it correctly within some moment instead of longer frustrated period.
You know what? the popularity and reputation are not exactly the same.
The reputation is only comes originally form you!
To be popular , at least there has to be a primer who will start to like you as a pop, not your ability!

so 1stly F**-* off Thermal Paste ! where you use to have fun only I bought it on the last 15th May ! then
just only 4 days before the silly things did have come to us with loosing control measures.
What the **** ? **** ****! I am sure that I won't let the ****-up manners by which any unacceptable or non-considerable irrational service approaches with lack of reasonable thoughts …
So , finally I did choose the option that if my brand news got broke , the one who done that break should have to be myself!
I can only be sure almost on myself !

I got frustration why don't I get the best performance with such specs ; 9th gen i7 mobile multithread cpu ; 1660Ti is the next the best for 1080p , even my Rig at home by which Ryzen 2600 perfectly pair with Rx 580 Ram 16gb heated only upto 83'C in > 24hour continuously running in multiple intention; up to 15hours Pes gaming without limiting at any level of fps itself but my 322m7c Philips's momentum regulate with it's built in( for me Gifted for us with such an affordable price with ) becoz I told post-installation suggestion for the word "OPTIMIZATION" so that there will be much of enthusiasms you will see during that kind of mission where you have to boost your intelligence widely.
If you feel more finenesses in progressing such a logical way, I am not worrying for the one who is included in my special guest list in the real world "High Leveled Humanism"defined one from playing console like a undeveloped kid who always need a babysitter who also will surely open the gamel lately
I didn't want to get the best things of the whole world , but I swear I did learn in casual ways again and again by upgrading my knowledge with day by day faster than ever technology's unstoppable development only for the ability to choose the best techs with the best as possible as the performance directly proportionate to my investment based on my long time emphasis!

I experienced that Hella-CPU-heat is ridiculously going beyond the acceptable range of the Nitro sense within minutes when I ran my games ; the windows got hang and the part around the keybord heating up like an "Iron".
how much Pes is demanding ??
Why , Am ****-up by the Magic of technology ?
do I lie myself according to the lower budget?

Such things are being solved physically , mentally and also technically after nearly two weeks' revisions just with sacrificing previous power of Enthusiasms!

According to my short time casual learning
Why CPU is overheating only in such a midrange esport AA games? the fact is that all the cores are wrongly working by using all of the efforts more probably like struggling on unnecessry matter according to noboy's will including themselves!
so we need to remind our CPU team( 6cores 12 threads) that they are burning themselves actively and eagarly!
By …what??
Do you think my mind are preparing to buy the Extra Fans to cool down such a Hella-Heated CPU?
We are free to fix our things up though the result may be wrong : may become worse , However or whatever the worst , every Logic have to be decised just based on Rational Faculty on casual Learning!

I don't have much hands on experince on many devices with variable issues,
and also this situation is only for the hobbies of which being used to clarify as much as I know .
This is based on my realtime expience and I am so glad to touch such issues ! Whatt a fantastic optimization; they all are on human side / Tech; will be available for any mankind
Coming days…
Every standard will have chances to find their need , then…They are really free for Unboxing their Brain !

Ok let say Here is the problem solving measures

1st : Undervolt the Cpu ,the poorlwhich is unnecessarily struggling with their whole team for may be Misunderstood Messages or Originally wrong guided teamwork response

for eg:
you've shown that Review video , but do not have any Preparation to deal ; both of u the shop and also u
She shop don't have either useful exp or the title PES 2020 online game data ! themselves !
they don't want to learn anymore , the age is over for learning the new days in my region .
Such a situation tends to becoming my very first friend who guided me to recognize myself espcially in finding the better way to fix the errors as much as possible I can control my Rage out of my will!

SO THERE ARE ONLY TWO OPTIONS AVAILABLE:
" THROTTLESTOP" 3rd party or V "
" InelXTU " Official
-TO CHOOSE ; TO OPTIMIZE
-THE UNNECESSARILY WORKING LIKE A HELL-

you show the Review video , but do not have any Preparation to deal such same my very first friend
e the same laptop brand series with different histories
PC setup-
in this video the Bot said the one he and manageable tools will be more convenient for any user i
n his/her preferred 3rd Party type " "THROTTLESTOP" ould not be regulated as far . I trusted the sound of smiling !

0xdeadbeef

bruhhh, i bought the one with 1660ti i5 9300h and i can confirm that the heat on the cpu is a disaster. my gpu temps are pretty low tho, they sit around 60-65C during gaming but cpu is always 90+
