Nitrosense functions, in depth help Nitro 5 AN515-55

Flamio

Hi guys, 
I've bought a Nitro 5 AN515-55 (i7-10750H, RTX 3060) some months ago. I've got some issues installing drivers, but now it's KINDA ok.
My first question comes with the app of nitrosense and the performance of the laptop.
When i play games, the big work comes from the graphic card (NVIDIA), and I play plugges with MAX fan and 'energy saving' mode. This allows me to play max performance Dark Souls 3 with a 55/60 °C on CPU and GPU

When i switch to 'Balanced' or 'High Perf' mode the temperatures of the CPU goes up to 80/90 °C even if the processor does not have to make the big work! Why does this happen?
How does the Nitrosense app control the performance and temperatures of the components? 


Since the last 2 days i've encountered some issues and i will open another thread about it

Hello Flamio, 

Thank you for your participation in the Acer Support Forums. When using power high performance  your CPU will run at higher speeds most of the time. It also increases  other components energy usage, that may be the reason the temperature is higher, however there is not reason to worry , the gamer units  are designed to handle temperature peaks greater than 98 degrees Celsius without damaging the components. If the system finds excessive temperatures that could damage the hardware, it will automatically shut down to protect the components from damage.

The following symptoms may be indicators of a system that is overheating and that requires repair:

1. The system shuts down due to high temperatures.

2. System components reach temperatures too high to touch.

3. Prolonged periods of operation when the temperature exceeds 98 degrees Celsius, not include temporary temperature peaks.

I suggest you take a look at this video that explains a little bit how the NitroSense works and how to customize your fans setups:
