SF314-54 - ACER Swift 3 overheating when charging

Hello,
I've noticed with my laptop that both the fan speed and temperature of the CPU are usually fine when they are running on battery.
However when I put it on to charge, the fan gets very loud with the CPU temperature getting as high as 90°c even if I'm not doing anything intensive. It will usually begin to get quieter after a few minutes but will sometimes flare up again for no reason.
Has anyone else had this issue before and can offer suggestions?

Check your power options for both on battery and on AC. They are different and you might be trying for the highest performance when on AC power.

It is the heat generated by the charging system, if you noticed the heating starts from the side with the charging port, it's almost too hot to touch. I think it's something to do with Acer's charging technology. because a lot of devices face this, also I have noticed the fans clog up easily and slow down due to dust. so if you live in a dusty region please go to the nearest service centre and get it cleaned, doing it yourself will void the warranty.

@Callistemon that is actually dependent on where the user is located. Warranties are quite different in different locales.

I just found the problem. A simple peace of tape, too long, holding a cable near the fan but holding the fan too so the fan cannot do his job🤷♂️
That's it😊

That would certainly do it, the fan tends to move a lot less air when it's not actually spinning. :)
