Acer Predator Ethernet + Heat problem

Veturius

I have a Heating issue with my Acer predator laptop (Predator PT315-53). I noticed whenever I plug in my Ethernet cable, the SYSTEM temperature of the laptop Goes from 60 (Without ethernet) to 76-80 (with ethernet) on idle.

Not a problem until I play games, where the system temperature goes up to 88, slowly creeping up to 92+, whereas without the ethernet cable plugged in, it stays in the mid 70's range.

is there any known solution to this?

CPU and GPU temperatures are fine. (Cpu going up tp 78 and GPU at low 70's)

I updated BIOS, updated LAN drivers. Nothing.

Ive tried switching to acer power plan; nothing.

Maximum processor power from 100% to 95%, nothing.

Plugging an Ethernet cable into your laptop should not be raising temps, you have thermal issues and maybe cpu/gpu fan issues, so check that also, see PS and how those function. Try to do a hard reset of the laptop, as the startup chip might need resetting as its not functioning 100%, take the main battery out, disconnect the bios battery and take the ram out and M.2 SSD drive, leave the laptop like that for 30min and while you have done all this, also take the thermal module out and clean the old paste and replace the paste with a high quality paste and pads. See if all this fixes your temp problems, otherwise your laptop has a sensor cpu/gpu issue that resticts the cpu/gpu fans from functioning and disperssing heat properly.
