Nitro 5 Laptop cpu temperature is very high 88-95 degrees

werethekau13

Hello. I have a new acer nitro 5. i5-12500h. rtx 3060. 6 vram. Laptop cpu temperature is very high 88-95 degrees
Also the gpu temperature is high 77-83 degrees
Coolers are charged on auto default during gaming
How can I lower the cpu temperature?
Or is this temperature normal for this laptop?

It can be happen when we are in high room temperature or living in hot country like in india, etc. In that case we need to manage Cpu/Gpu temperature by optimizing windows, etc.

Solution-

1)Fps cap 
Capping fps to lower value like 60, 100, 120, 140, etc can greatly lower cpu temperature and keep cool
(Cap you fps through Nvidia software or use RTSS)

2)Prop the laptop up with books around the sides to reduce heat
Grab stack of 2-4 books that are equally thick. Slide the spine of a book 2–3 inches (5.1–7.6 cm) under the right side of the laptop. Do the same on the left side of the laptop.

[You can also Buy good cooling pad in which stands are inbuilt, its better than books]

3)You can follow this below guide completely to reduce Cpu load and increase game performance-

Follow below steps if you still get high temperatures-

Note- Cleaning air vents and fans are also important as applying good quality thermal paste correctly..

Best way to thermal paste correctly-

(X method is recommended for new users and use good quality thermal paste like Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut or Arctic MX-5 new edition)

-Applying thermal paste too much or very less also cause overheating, Just draw X on your CPU/GPU chip in this way that it doesn't spread out of chip when applying heatsink


-Never remove heatsink after applying new thermal paste because Once you remove the heatsink off, you create a void or air bubbles get inside where the thermal paste used to be and risk of overheating because of the unprotected areas.

I had the same problem , you can decrease CPU max power to 99% ( invalidating turbo in this way I read) - it works.

I had to keep the settings on low power this moved the temp to 85 from to 95 C having the laptop on a regular cooling pad at the same time.

I did most of what was suggested above except repasting - I'm concerned to not destroy something else.

I ended up by building my few own cooling pad 3D printed - available as STEP models on GrabCAD .

The principle I used is to create a pressurized air "cushion" under the laptop. The temp is now around 67 C , no power limit on CPU but I continue to use the low power setting in Nitro cooling software.

The pad is 300mmX400mm raised at 30 grd.

I used 40X40X25 mm fans 24 V . The variable power is so than you can use an input source of 30 V max and move the voltage down to minimize noise when you don't need so much cooling….

you can try 12 V fans same envelope which can use a standard laptop source.

here is a link or simply search on GrabCad or shout a message - for fusion360 models.
