Acer Nitro 5 (2019) Thermal Testing - Too Hot To Handle?

Рет қаралды 177,944

5 жыл бұрын

The Acer Nitro 5 gaming laptop has some nice specs for the price. In this testing we’ll take a detailed look at performance, see if there is any throttling caused by thermal or power limits, and find out what can be done to improve gaming performance and temperatures.
I’ll investigate undervolting, overclocking, and show you how hot the laptop gets while gaming and under combined CPU and GPU stress test with different settings, let you listen to total system fan noise, test with a cooling pad and see hot spots with a thermal camera.

For those who have the most common AN515-52, i5 8300h, 1050ti. These are the custom settings: XTU undervolt -0.130v, MSI Afterburner GPU overclock, core clock: +180, memory clock: +880. (Don't go lower on the undervolt, CPU crashes on idle if you do. I already tested these settings extensively, and this is the sweet spot for the GPU) Also, always use Max fan speed on NitroSense when gaming, they are gonna rev up, so is gonna be loud anyway. My CPU won't even reach 90C, but I took the risk of using liquid metal, so take that into consideration. Undervolt itself lowered my thermals from 7 to 10 C alone. Good luck.

Hello Jarrod. Can I ask how you generally undervolt and what software you use?, because I use Throttlestop. I just change the core and cache offset by for example -120mv and intel gpu by -60mv. Do you think these adjustments are enough or is it worth messing around with turbo ratio limits, speed shift, etc.?

@JarrodsTech 5 жыл бұрын

I use Intel XTU, generally Throttlestop is going to be better, generally I only ever touch core voltage offset (does cache too in XTU) and that's good enough for me.

The funny thing is that the laptop is not getting hot and the moment I open task manager or CPU-Z the temperatures return back to normal (40 - 55 degrees) and the fans slow from 5000 RPM to 2800 RPM. Hope u have encountered it as an issue and have a solution for it. Thanks :)

It's ok if you need something with a less "gamer" look, the only others with similar price/specs I'd probably prefer if Nitro 5 is out would be the Dell G3, at least it has dual channel memory potential, though CPU power limits are still on the lower side like this machine so performance is down a little vs slightly more expensive options (nitro 5 doesn't have this issue, and also has better fan speed control).

Hello I bought the new Acer nitro 5 with i5 12500h type of processor. On idle the cpu temp is between 45-50 c. But when I start the game (hogwarts legacy) it spikes up90c and fluctuate between 75-85 c some 90-94 spikes. I think that is not so bad for a gamer laptop in high setting but the fans are very frustrating its loud asf. The cpu ifan 4000-4200rpm the GPU 4500-4600 rpm but very very loud nearly I can't hear the speakers What can I do I read about to set my cpu max processor state to 99, it will help? Thank you for the answer

I have the i5 variant with 1660ti, the CPU temps hit 92degrees as soon as I start games like witcher 3. Is it safe to play at those temps?

@JarrodsTech 4 жыл бұрын

Yes I think so, but you can probably try some things to improve them such as undervolting or using a cooling pad/stand.

@sukhmanmann6199 4 жыл бұрын

Are those the fans of the cooling pad that reduce the heat or just the better airflow elevation of the laptop done by the cooling pad? If you just elevate the laptop with cooling pad without turning on fans.... what is the result in that case?

Both, I compared cooling pads with just a normal stand here which will show the difference: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qr6mfsyqm5vUp5s.html

Amazing video! However I didn't understand one thing, is it worth to buy a cooler pad for this notebook? I recently got one and I'm already seeing so much complains about it's cooling system that I want to do everything I can to prevent overheating.

@JarrodsTech 4 жыл бұрын

It can help a bit, but you get most of the improvement just by undervolting instead. If you already have the cooler then might as well try with and without and see how it goes.

@JarrodsTech 4 жыл бұрын

You can see the temperatures in the video. I would expect lower specs to produce less heat, by how much I cannot say without testing. Nitro 5 has better fan control than Lenovo.

I love your videos in terms of contents, quality of your tests, which are much more specific than others, BUT you should consider your voice tone. First time i watched it, it really made me want to sleep 'cause of a balance voice tone without going up or down. You should try EMPHASIZE words with your voice when talking, which will definitely make your vids more interesting. Thats my recommendation for you. Hope your channel will thrive :D

hey jarold nice video once again! may i ask some (kinda) dumb questions? Is undervolting a cpu will be dangerous? (will it void the warranty?) undervolting will increase the laptop perfomance? or it will be different for different specs? thx jarold love ur reviews on nitro 5 as i just bought it 2 weeks ago👻

@MAA20020 5 жыл бұрын

Kun Andreas Undervolting isn’t dangerous (it won’t void warranty), it will increase performance by decreasing temperatures so the cpu will be able to run at higher clocks but temps will be kinda similar unless you turn off turbo boost which will limit your cpu to base clocks it will decrease temps by a lot and no performance loss in games which AREN’T CPU intensive

@sandwichlee 5 жыл бұрын

@eduardoavila646 5 жыл бұрын

I'm not Jarrod, but i will leave my 2 cents here: Undervolting with intel xtu is not dangerous as even if you undervolt too much the laptop will just crash and reboot. After the reboot all voltage configurations will be reset to the default, so it will be fine again with no harm at all. Undervolting doesnt hurt the cpu, overvolting that does. The worst it could happen is the laptop lock up and reboot and then it will reset the voltage configs. And no i dont think it does void warranty, as the manufacturers cant even prove you done it if you reset to the default configuration, and its not something that can damage the cpu. Undervolting may increase performance even if clock speeds are a bit lower than the theorical maximum of the cpu because it may drop less the speed than it would with thermal and tdp throttle in stock configs. But keep in mind that even 2 cpus with the exact same model may undervolt differently, one may go down -0.150v, the other may not even be able to pass -0.05v without crashing, its a matter of luck. They call this "the silicon lottery".

After using this notebook for 2 years - version with 3550H and 1650, I had my ups and downs with this one. I like that it's quite modular - have 3 drives installed and upgraded memory. However in terms of gaming... I had throttles and notebook turned off while playing Crysis 1 (original) :D... This happens on stock settings with pretty much every cpu intensive game, new or even some older. Without watching several videos on youtube which showed me Ryzen Controller and reading articles I'd be lost. Official acer forums are also full of very unintelligent people that will tell you lot of nonsense about throttle temps being ok though not all people there are like this. With Ryzen controller set up to limit temp to 85c and TDP limit, cooling pad and so on this is a very potent machine. Though... this CPU apparently can't handle sea of thieves well... I decided to keep this laptop for some more time. Sister recently bought lenovo with newer AMD cpu and it runs cool and quiet. I was not much more expensive than Nitro 5. Maybe next time I'll just buy that one rather than another Acer.

Or undervolting will cause that I'll have less fps?

AMD laptops tend to run cooler than Intel ones as the power limits are lower, this does however mean performance is not quite as good. If you're looking at an Intel based Nitro, then it will probably perform better than an AMD based TUF.
