SF514-52T -565H heats up a lot during of grid use, My battery empties very quick.

Hi, I asked this question of topic, So here I try again in a fresh thread,

I also would like to bring my performance up, since Sharepoint Syncs & Outlook gives 80-100% processer loads. Does is make sense to:

• replace my battery
• upgrade SSD, see below
• add some extra RAM? in the free slot

If this just takes 200€ then I would go for that.

• 3 issues:So, I like to replace my battery (for an Acer 4670mAh 7,7V 36Wh)+ replace my 256 SSD: Any advice which one gives less overheating? I think about these 2 Samsung types:The 980 has a high-performance temperature controller and heatspreader from the NAND-chip.The 970 has a : Dynamic Thermal Guard controler and heatspreader.Thanks a million,Ivo
  • - My SF514-52T -565H heats up a lot during of grid use. When I use it at the USB-C loader and at a lifted notebook stand, it does not heat up.
  • - My battery empties very quick.
  • - I need more SSD space
  • - 980 PCIe 3.0 NVMe™ M.2 1 TB SSD / PCIe Gen 3.0 x4, NVMe 1.4 / 80.15 x 22.15 x 2.38 (mm)
  • - 970 Evo PLus NVMe™ M.2 1 TB SSD / PCIe Gen 3.0 x 4, NVMe 1.3 / 80.15 x 22.15 x 2.38 (mm)
  • Sizes are the same, so it will fit in the thin casing I believe.

• October 2022@Ivoenkhuizen I'd swear I answered your questions on another thread, but I'm not seeing it now. Since your questions don't have much to do with the original topic here, please start a new thread and we'll get into your overheating and battery issues there.

No need to replace the battery unless the battery is failing. You can run battery reports to find out just how much it is down from the original specs. In almost all cases low battery life is caused by too many apps running, using the extra power, along with screen brightness and network activity. On your model laptop the memory is all soldered in, so no option for an upgrade there. You can easily upgrade the SSD to a larger size. You can put any size M.2 x4 PCIe 3.0 drive in, a 1TB or 2TB are both good choices in a cost per GB comparison. Don't pay extra for a PCIe 4.0 drive, it will run at the 3.0 speeds. Pick up an external NVMe case so you can easily clone the existing drive to the new one before installing. If you run a temperature monitoring utility we can get a better idea how hot it really is. Heavy CPU usage will run hotter than normal, as will dust buildup on the fan and cooling fins.
