Hello, I am using Acer Nitro AN515-44 (2020 model) with a ryzen processor. I just wanted to ask is there any airflow coming out from both of the exhausts from the back of the laptop ? Because one of my exhaust does not have any airflow coming out of it ( red circle ) while the other one has airflow coming out from the back ( blue circle ). Is this considered normal or...... ?

    @Patrick66 One is the real vent, other is the fake one present for symmetry. You are good.

    Have you tried running a high load benchmark on the laptop so GPU gets to 100% and CPU too? I think it should be pretty normal if airflow will come out of both while 100% loaded. I think one is the CPU fan, and the other is the GPU fan. The GPU fan lowers its RPM to save power when it is not used. Try a stress test (benchmark to load both) and please reply if airflow comes out of both exhausts.

    @patrick66 no there should be something bad i have the same model an an515-44 and both rear difusers have airflow, check nitrosense if the fan is owrking correctly or check if it is clogged with dust not getting arflow from one of those is not that bad but makes more difficult the refrigeration of the CPU
