I recently purchased my ACER SWIFT X 14 (SFX14-71G-70K) at the start of year. For a while, it worked well, but after three months, my laptop started overheating. Even when I boot up my laptop and only have Chrome open, it seems to reach 60 °C. When I plug in the charger, the heat increases until the body becomes really hot. I’m looking for ways to reduce the heat. Can anyone help?
I have the Swift X SFX14-51G-7003 model with a Gen3 1TB NVMe SSD, and live in the tropics (always work outside on my deck, very warm), never had temperature issues/shutdowns but I uninstalled all 3rd-party programs and bloatware. Power plan is Balanced and use strictly Windows programs/defaults like Edge and Defender with all security enabled (green tick marks). Check if your Windows11 23H2 version is build 22631.35127. You can increase the fan speed in Acer Quick Access-System Usage Mode Performance mode will cool the laptop better. Make sure you shut down and not suspend the laptop, disable Hibernate.
HI, so i tried the Performance Mode and i think that helped thanks for that, my windows build is 22631.3447 but for the Power Plan i tried to make changed it to balaced but it would stay at active.
And sometimes my screen just freezes but my cursor can still moves and to be honest i don't really know how to fix that because im pretty new
Well at least you are able to control the fan speed now, uninstall all 3rd-party programs and bloatware that update you have was on April 9, there is a preview update dated April 23, click on Check for updates. This tutorial tells you how to reset the Power Plans: https://www.elevenforum.com/t/reset-and-restore-power-plan-settings-to-default-in-windows-11.10322/
