Hello guys,

After the "Updates EC version v1.19" version bios update the temperatures increased by 10-15 degrees. Has anyone else experienced this problem?

Model NUM: Nitro AN16-41

Thanks.

    Tap F2 to enter the BIOS menu on startup. Press F9 to load BIOS defaults. Press F10 to save defaults & exit BIOS menu.

    Thank you for the response, but this is not a solution. I only have nvdia gpu selected in the bios, all other bios options are default. Before the bios update the system never exceeded 40 degrees when idle, now it can go up to 50 degrees instantly. I think there is something wrong with the last bios update.

    40° to 50° or 55° is inconsequential under light loads. As long as GPU temps don't exceed ~86°, CPU ~92° under heavy loads, it should be fine.

    After the last bios update with nvdia gpu selected, it goes up to 65 degrees but doesn't stay there all the time. But this didn't happen in previous bios updates, it happened after the last bios update. Can you give feedback on this to the dev team?

    Sorry, this is an Acer users forum. We are not Acer employees or service reps who have direct access to Acer software, firmware & hardware design developers.

    However, the processor temperatures you've reported so far are well within this laptop's design specifications and margins for error in its temperature sensing & reporting apps.

    Furthermore, slight changes in screen brightness, background processes, Defender scanner updates, fan power-saving changes in firmware updates and other normal Windows updates, can easily account for these differences.

    Again unless the GPU temp exceeds ~86° C and CPU exceeds ~92°C under heavy gaming or app loads, your laptop seems to be OK and behaving as expected.

    I don't understand why people are answering if they don't have anything that helps to say.

    Marsiva has poited out that has temp increase with 10-15 degrees after updating to BIOS 1.19 (which i also experienced) - doesn't matter that those are still in range of "acceptable temp" - the fact that they increase suggests that Aces made intentionally or not some changes in BIOS that leads to that and noone would want higher temps for no reason - that's what really matter.

    Also, JackE what stands behind your argument in trying to convince us that is ok for my CPU to reach 92-93 degrees in scenarios that before updating the BIOS never exceeded 80-82 degrees? That's NOT OK however you chose to look at it really!

    To sustain my argument before repeating yourself again with everything you wrote above, note this scenarios: Cold stard the laptop in "Ballanced mode scenario" open hwinfo - run 3DMark11 - before update BIOS, max 82 degrees on CPU, after update 92.5 degrees. Same profile used, no win updates, no screen brightness change, no other background processes, etc. Also in "Turbo Scenario" - before updateing BIOS max 77-78 degrees on CPU, after update 98.5 degrees.

    Im curios if anyone has this problem and if anyone really has a hint of what Acer has done within the BIOS to lead to such changes. My only thoughts are that they've changed the fans curves or messed with voltages that made the laptop temps jump so abruptly from 40 to 60 only by opening a browser, thing that before the update never happened!
