Helloi bought acer nitro 5 an515-58 laptop like 7 months ago and like 2 months ago i start to check my temps and get worried about my cpu temps, i got i5 12500h cpu, i am using hwinfo and msi afterburner, afterburner while gaming show cpu temps like 80-85 degrees, but hwinfo panel shows me averrage cpu temp about 80, but it spikes sometimes to red and 100 degrees, depends what game i am playing and also it shows thermal throttling and i am worried about that, idk its safe or not, because while playing i got about 85 degrees, but it spikes quite high, i dont have any isses while gaming, dont have like fps drops or pc shutdowns, i dont want to ruined my laptop, want some solutions what to do, its quite new, i am playing on battery best performance, plugged in and nitrosense set to performance mode.

as far as I have heard that nitrosense temperature data is not the most accurate and whether thermal throttling does not endanger my laptop and whether temperature spikes are good, because the nitrosense application tends to show a maximum temperature of 90 degrees to 100 degrees under heavy load


I am using cooling pad, like while gaming average temps are normals, bet i worry about regulary temp spikes from 95-100 degrees, it spikes and drop back to normal temp, but hit thermal throttling and dont think its a good sign, i want fix this problem, but i dont wanna lose any performance.


nitrosense report nothing just max temp 90 degrees without any temp spikes, idk all what i worry about most is the thermal throttlings, hwmonitor max temps shows around 92-95 degrees . Dont feel any issues while playing, like fps drops or something else, idk what to do, mby i need to send laptop to warranty?


Ok, mby i focuse more on nitrosense not o 3rd apps, ye i dont have any bluescreens and shutdowns. Mby i need some better coolingpad, playing pubg on msi afterburner my fps stays stable and dont feel any fps drops or slutter


Test this out, for some time it works fine and after like 4 matches of gaming it stills starts to spike temps to 100 degrees, hwinfo and hwmonitor shows max temp again 96-100 and thermal throttling, but average temp 70-75 in cs2. Thats so annoying, dont wanna ruine my laptop, mby my thermal paste is really dried out , idk


the computer has never shut down, I just don't understand why hwmonitor and hwinfo show the maximum temperature of 96-100 I have been playing for a long time, of course the average temperature is generally only up to 80 degrees. but hwinfo shows thermal throttling when reaching 90+ degrees


Just had a problem with mine. Same model, same high temperatures while gaming, even with cooling pads. Then it suddenly shutdown and never turned on again. I'm sending it to the Acer Repair Center in my country. I'm really disappointed though, its supposed to handle gaming, that's why we pay more for those laptops.


Got same problem here, send laptop to warranty, they changed thermal paste, ventilators, thermal module, pickup laptop yesterday, benchmark some games like cod warzone and still my temperstures reach 100 degrees , when i set settings like on high it drops fps feel laggy, reach high temps, even on max low settings temps are around 95- 100 degrees, i am using best performance in battery power plan. But when i use best power effieciency mode, temps are fine, no thermal thorttling, but not that great performance, this is so annoying, get 1400 euro laptop and still cant even play normally.


ive got an interesting building im looking to do. i've recently come in possession of an alveo u280 for FPGA work and have an acer nitro 5 an515 (i5-10300H + rtx 3050ti). im looking to do some fpga programming and instead of doing an entire new build, thought i'd give the ADT R43SG a try with an external power supply with the u280 (possibly upgrade the ram as well to 32gb), so that I can do some basic FPGA work. I have not heard a lot about people using FPGA's alongside a laptop, but the u280 supports pcie4.0, so it seems like this should work. do you have any advice on the setup, alternatives to the ADT R43SG, or experience with fpga as an egpu?


Reason being that want the lowest impedance and best cable shielded wiring as found in those 2023+ adapter when extending out a M.2 NVMe slot with a DIY eGPU adapter to as best as can avoid PCIe transport issues such as glitchy performance or even getting the PCIe device detected on the PCIe device to appear in Device Manager so can be utilized. That even being the case on your 2020 PCIe 3.0 10th-gen system.


This is not to say that the R43SG may not work.. it's just a small cost addition to get best possible outcome, with future reuse potential if attaching later on a 2022+ Intel/AMD system with PCIe 4.0 M.2 NVMe SSD slot(s).
