Need to know about ventilation of processors in Acer laptops. How noisy are they

agasoft

This question is probably for the laptop category, but I'm not sure which subcategory to choose.
I used to have Acer laptops and was very satisfied, but in recent years, unfortunately, that has not been the case. Now I'm in the process of choosing a new one. I recently bought a laptop from another manufacturer with an Intel I5 12450H processor and was disappointed that the ventilation worked non-stop. The processor utilization was 3%, the temperature was 34 degrees Celsius, and the ventilation was working. Like on laptops 15 years ago...
Now I have an offer of average Acer laptops in my country. One is Extensa with AMD Ryzen 5 7520U processor, and one is Aspire A315-44p with AMD 5500U. I would like someone to write me their experiences with the ventilation of these processors in Acer computers. How noisy are they, are they often active when performing some daily tasks. I must mention that I will not be using the laptop to play any games. Just browsing the internet, watching videos, online meetings and office work.
It is really very important to me that the ventilation is not so strong, as if the laptop will fly away.
My last laptop had an I3 1125G4 and the ventilation was really obedient, it turned on when I was doing something really demanding.

The Acer Extensa with the AMD Ryzen 5 7520U processor and the Acer Aspire A315-44p with the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U processor should provide more efficient and quieter ventilation compared to your previous Intel-based laptop, especially for your intended usage of browsing, video watching, online meetings, and office work.

AMD's Ryzen processors, including the 7520U and 5500U, are known for their improved thermal efficiency and better power management compared to previous-generation Intel chips. This means the fans in these Acer laptops are less likely to ramp up unnecessarily during light workloads, resulting in a quieter and more unobtrusive user experience.

The Ryzen-powered Acer laptops should have a more balanced thermal profile, with the fans only activating when the processor is under significant load. For your typical daily tasks, the ventilation system is unlikely to be constantly running at high speeds, providing a more comfortable and less distracting computing experience.

Now, if you want to choose best power efficient laptop between these two then-
Power Efficiency: The Ryzen 5 7520U is designed for lower power consumption, with a configurable TDP range of 10-25 W, compared to the Ryzen 5 5500U's 10-25 W configurable TDP range because the Ryzen 5 7520U is part of the Mendocino series, which is newer and uses a 6 nm manufacturing process, while the Ryzen 5 5500U is part of the Lucienne series and uses a 7 nm process

(Smaller nm is better)

In summary, the Ryzen 5 7520U is more power-efficient and has a higher turbo boost frequency, while the Ryzen 5 5500U offers better performance and more cores.

Both of those laptop models that you have mentioned are a mid-range spec laptop that are cooled with an average thermal module and with one fan that cools the AMD Ryzen cpu, The dBA noise levels shown below are the noise levels that you will get for both the Aspire and Extensa range of laptops.

For example, I own an Aspire A515-57 with an i5-1235U / 16GB DDR4 -3200Mhz ram laptop and this laptop also only turns on when you do something really demanding but otherwise its very silent just like the two laptops above and with the fan true values like below, but this latop is a much higher spec than the A315-44P. On the other hand, I have a Nitro 5 AN515-56 gaming laptop (which really, I can't hear when doing normal work) that in normal mode its very rarely reaches the specified 43 dBA and at gaming performance mode can reach up to 52dBA at temps of .95C, so its a bit higher.

If you want a better spec laptop that is a higher performer than the i3 1125G4 laptop that you had before, I suggest that you buy the Aspire A315-44P laptop with the AMD Ryzen 5 5500U cpu and its 2x ram slots can be upgraded up to a max total of 32GB ram at 2x 16GB DDR4-3200MHz type ram for higher end editing work if you ever need that sort of work to be done, also its going to have the same noise levels as the i3-1125G laptop that you had, and in silent, normal and performance mode you will expect the below SPL Spec (dBA) noise levels from both of these laptop's, which at peak performance mode and at 90-100c temps is at 46 dBA and at normal 57-63C temps is 37 dBA which is a normal and a very silent level. Good luck and hope this helps you out.

Also The Extensa likely includes a well-designed cooling solution to keep the 7520U running cool and quiet, as evidenced by the bundled Wraith Stealth cooler
