@mikeyjames set all 3 predator sense xtu profiles to same undervolt, I noticed that when wanted to make normal - 1.6 but max -1.5. Normal was always reseted to 0 after changing from max to normal in predatorsense. 

Yours is i9... 

Model Name: PH517-51-72NU

Does anyone have a problem where on boot ph500 just hangs... keyboard is on but don't see the bios predator logo, only black screen. I need to press the power button again to turn it off and then after turning in on again all works and ph500 boots to win 10 pro. Not a big problem but kinda annoying. 

I'am out of ideas. Removed all killer network *****, even used their uninstaller. There is no Killer network service running on my PH500 but I still get the PSadminAgent bug: Anyone still have such problem? If no the only option for me is to do a fresh win 10 install. Do you guys recommend installing all stuff from Acer…

@Red-Sand can you specify what version of killer drivers are you using? Also what version of killer center? I might try installing the one from the acer support page, because nothing is slowing my problem :(

Yes that's correct it usually takes over night to get to 1gb ram. 

Winver is 1809... tried to use killer driver uninstaller, then installed the driver only version but it's missing the killer network service and the bug persist. Then did killer uninstaller, removed drivers from device manager and deleted all temp files installed the killer driver suit, but I don't use killer network…

startup set to automatic. 

I still have problems with PSAdminAgent tried the fix, using the latest Killer drivers, tried to uninstall Killer Center install the latest one or the beta the problem still persist. Any one have such problem? 

Center is not needed you can just download the stand alone drivers. I rly don't get the point of killer control.

There is Helios 300 2018 edition and the first one, no one is stopping Acer to launch Helios 500 2019 edition or smth like that, especially after 9th gen intel cpu, but price should be big, nvidia is not joking with RTX. 

PH500 have 2 m.2 slots, that's the whole reason I would like to do this. Now I have Samsung EVO 970 500GB as main OS drive, and 1 GB HDD. 1 m.2 slot is free and I still have the stock ssd that came with laptop. I could use it for HDD cache, but first need to reinstall windows with sata mode set to optane premium... And…

I was more talking about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQY_Q1pD1hc but now my win are in ahci mode if I change sata mode to optaine premium memory it wont boot, any major improvements in speeds with dedicated 64GB from ssd for HDD cache? Now I get 80-100 MB/s reads thats max it can handle... next update must be a…

1 sec on 80C won't destroy your CPU 😉 Predator Imo should be the correct one it's made by Acer for this laptop. The only reason I would care about lower temps and would repast the cpu is to reduce the fan noise when playing games on auto with cooler boost. Idle this laptop is silent 😶 

Yes, but I had my acc linked with this laptop when I set it up for the first time, dunno how it would go for you, maybe with ms acc there is some more update scans, when I install win10 with local acc there was far less auto apps being installed, when with ms acc it started to download waves and all other apps from ms…

@helmersen your problem is Nvidia latest drivers, 417.22 is bugged . Install these over the ones you have and you should be back to business. Uninstall not needed just install over the top it will uninstall automatically. 

or just install 417.01 drivers on top the ones you have, problem solved. Acer drivers are too old for new AAA titles. https://community.acer.com/en/discussion/556413/psa-most-recent-nvidia-drivers-dont-use-them-417-22#latest

Acording to Intel these temps are ok and cpu was designed like that, but if it reaches 91C it starts to termo throttle. I would not worry if you don't get any freezes. Also test your cpu with stress test with xtu. I remember getting 68-70C with 100% cpu usage. 

Use cool boost when gaming that should keep your ph500 70-80 range. With Gta 5 I get 70 some spikes to 80... Other laptops termo thortless so imo 80 max is rly good
