Hello guys, I'm a predator user from the early days, I've had a predator helios 300 (PH315-53) since 4 years, and I recently bought the helios 16 (PH16-71-93FR).
No matter how hot my laptop gets, I just had the ability to just underclock my cpu and reduce the temps on my old laptop(max fans not even on turbo mode). TBH, I paid over 2000$ for this laptop, and the chip gets overheated in turbo even with max fans and ACER doesn't even let me undervolt or underclock this chip. A simple 200ghz underclock of the cpu chip would result in massive performance gain!!
Don't even get me started on the "Intel locked the undervolting thing". All the other manufacturers like ASUS and Lenovo bypassed the lock on the chip, but ACER didn't. They wouldn't even let us "underclock" the chips anymore, which would help reduce the power draw and the temps!!
Predator Sense is so inferior compared to the other competition. Even the TUF laptops have better software, which are way less expensive!!
This makes me so infuriated as a predator fan, I'm even thinking of moving to Lenovo even if it costs me a little more.
All you have to do is allow us more control on the CPU/GPU side and fix your dang software, this will take out all the competition.
Release a BIOS update to unlock overclocking/underclocking at least!
Please mods, I beg you pass this on to the developers, this is from all of the community, not just a rant by a mad man.
