Hello there,
i've a triton 700 1080 max q version.. i've a downvolt of about -0.155v on cpu that help the cpu to stay cool (-4/5 degree) the notebook runs game like hell, no problem at all and no need to overclock, max temps at gpu and cpu combined load without cooling stand in a 24 degree ambient room was 82-78, no thermal thottling detected and works like charm with bios 1.06..
Two days ago i've updated the bios to 1.10 due to the fix at the touchpad disabled issue and fixed that but now i've some thermal thottling when cpu reach the 81c degree with fans at auto settings... when that happens fans are still at 3.600 rpm, nearly 50% of the setting bar (paired with a manual setup)..
that bring us to two big questions:
why.. 81c sure it's not a problem for that notebook or the cpu itself... why did acer change the TT limit for that with the bios update?
why if acer think that 81c on a cpu for that kind of laptop it's too high and need some TT to kick in didnt simple increase FANS spin (curve) a little to prevent it?!
why did you change something that was working fine before making such a mess?
i'm more than sure about it because i check my temps at full load weekly for some reviews and testing and be sure that dust or anything else it's making it hotter and thermal thottling never happens before to me and sure not at 81degree celsius.
can i have some explanation?
regards
