Orion 7000

[Glynis Waughtal]

Notsure if this is normal as where i live right now, there are 12c outside and 19-20c inside but for some reason, without playing any games, my CPU keeps overheating without even being used ( checked the CPU usage in task manager )

Btw, the most common cpu cooler fitted to this desktop as an upgrade and in previous Predator Orion models, is the Noctua NS-U9S chromax_black that has an option for a dual fan setup which is a very efficient cpu cooler and very quite also.

You can also fit the bigger Noctua NH-U12S chromax_black to the newer models, so check your internal spaces around the cpu if the NH-U12S chromax_black fits after you have had Acer Support check that there is nothing elese wrong with the mobo or cpu on your desktop.

Does your Orion 7000 have the AIO water single fan CPU cooler from Acer? As if its got that and you are getting 96C at idle then there is something either wrong with the AIO water cooling or the mobo so have Acer replace the mobo or AIO cpu cooler as something is definitely wrong.

The only time you should replace the oem cpu cooling is when the temps are normal and you want to change the cpu cooler, you should not be forced to change cooling components because the motherboard or the cpu cooling is faulty and your cpu temps reach 96C at idle, its like buying a new car and having to put extra radiators because its V8 engine has cooling problems? get Acer to change the faulty AIO cpu cooler or the whole motherboard!

We all know that HIGh CPU Temps = Small lifespan. Also note that this is not a laptop in a small enclosure to be acceptable for such high temperatures. This is a medium-full tower case. Even a good quality 1 fan passive cooler can cool better than this and keep the temperatures under control.

If you are up to it, order cheap Thermalright CPU Contact Frame for LGA 1700 and some thermal paste. Youtube has many installation videos how to do this. Contact frame should secure good even contact and bring down your temps considerably. I did this on my lowly i5-12600 and my temps dropped more than 5C and I did not even have contact problems.

most of us who purchase a 3000-5000-7000 have all upgraded the coolers to something better, it does not void the warranty as long as you don't break anything, that is coming from a level 2 tech, they said they prefer us using someone to install our new upgrades but not necessary, because not all of us have that option, so you can do whatever you want as long as you dont break anything installing something, and i agree with GotBanned, return it and build your own and if you dont like that option and want an acer predator get a 5000 they are less than half the price and then put a Noctua nh-u12a air cooler on it or a liquid cooler of your choice, and i have that correction plate on mine and it helps, but no way ide get a 7000 they are way over priced with really bad cooling, but once again its your choice just keep us posted on what ya do, here is my 5000 and with all my upgrades its still half the price of a 7000.

mines still good until November of this year and i learned so much here, i would never have to send mine in, nor would i, besides, every member here that has sent there's in, for whatever reason, comes back no problems found i have noticed, and a level 2 support agent is the highest you can speak to on the phone, you have 2 request a callback from one of them, the regular support tech agents are just ppl who answer the phones and sometimes if not always, they don't even know what we know lol, no offense intended its just facts, i have spoken to enough to realize they are no help at all for me, so there ya go, its your choice what to do, we can only tell you what we have done ourselves, im a new pc gamer, only been a little over a year, im 56 and i do all my own upgrades, with the help of the amazing ppl here, helping me, and taking my time reading and learning and watching YouTube videos, upgrading or building a pc is very simple, once ya understand the basics.

well, i noticed you have your fans set on auto mode, maybe its not engaging properly? mine doesn't work either, so i keep mine on gaming, when im on my pc gaming, i know those upper radiator fans are loud on yours, but any testing and temps should be done with all fans at 100%, to really get an idea about temps and how good or bad they are, run a test in gaming mode and or play a game to get a true idea then.

I don't see any issues with the stats you have posted. Remember that instantaneous temperature can spike for short times as the fan ramp in speed. You should be looking at stable temperatures not peak. You are running at 50C which is respectable. What temperatures do you see on the CPU under heavy gaming? My system often runs steady at around 50C or so when doing nothing other than web browsing. Fan tables used in the various modes on these machines typically try to hold the temperatures stable in the 50-70C range for optimum performance.

Also the current acer one, in gaming or in load, the cpu stays usually around 80-90c and the gpu around 55-60c and that around noon, when the temperature in the room reaches 25c. The fans to get pretty loud as a sign that the "auto" function does it's job. I got to see spikes of up to 100c on the CPU.

yeah i know i saw that video lol, i hear ya, and well, you don't have many options left, but to return it or fix it yourself lol, btw those videos are awesome, that guy is so funny and cool, I've talked to him before about it and my pc lol, that and the price is why i bought a 5000 instead, i did all the research i could before buying one.

Measuring almost 20 inches in both height and depth and 9 inches across and weighing in at approximately 40 pounds, the Orion 7000 is enormous and heavy; however, its appearance is compact and tidy. The case is mostly matte black in color, although the top quarter of the front panel is gloss black where it features the Acer Predator logo. Overall, this is a classy, eye-catching machine designed to catch the eyes of serious gamers.

The Orion 7000 offers a plethora of ports, as befits a PC of this size and price. The lion's share of the ports are mounted on the rear, including two USB 2.0 Type-A ports, three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, three more USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A ports, and a single USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-C port. Up front you'll find a complement of USB ports and audio in and out for tidy cable routing. Specifically, there's a set of 3 USB 3.2 Type-A ports (one Gen 1, the other pair Gen 2), one USB Type-C port, and two 3.5-mm audio jacks for a microphone and headphones.

Intel Killer 2.5 Gigabit LAN enables detection and prioritization of game traffic over other types of network traffic, resulting in smoother and faster connectivity for online games, giving gamers a competitive edge. And for those using wireless networks, the Intel WiFi 6E (AX211) router with 22 MU-MIMO channels provides stable, fast, and secure wireless connectivity.

You can get started right away with this machine. In addition to a power cable, manual, and warranty card, the Orion 7000 comes with a high-quality mouse and keyboard combination. Both keyboard and mouse sport customizable RGB lighting. The full keyboard has big keys with nice travel that feel satisfying to type on, as well as a row of four media controls. The mouse has two extra buttons mounted above the thumb rest and a DPI switch for quickly shifting sensitivity on the fly.

hello Feyjin. I don't know if you're still reading this but I'm also looking for another cpu cooler but can't find any information about which one would fit in it. It seems as if there is room for 2 fans, but I think it's just too weird that they only use one. Hopefully you or someone else can help me with this. By the way, I was looking for the nzxt kraken X53 if it fits (or the z version)

it takes a 240mm radiator a few here have the 7000 and have replaced with a 240 of thier choice, among other upgrades like psu and gpu and mb and memory lol search posts for neogeo specifically. he has dont alot of amazing work on his 7000.

It can fit any 240 AIO without issue, if you get one which requires a usb 2.0 you can either get the pin outs and connect it direct or take the more cautious approach of getting a wire which converts one of the usb 3.0 to 2.0 , i chose the latter when i was still using the Predator motherboard, i've gone for a different motherboard just to make life easier and to make full use of my ram speed kit.

Were you able to attach that cpu cooler right away or did you need some cables and screws that you have to order separately? I don't have much experience building computers so this is a big job for me.

Everything you'll need should come with the cooler, you'll have to remove the motherboard to install the cooler backplate, it's not hard once you get started and the best tip is actually to just take your time, work around the board disconnecting the various connections, then unscrew the board keeping them safe and the board itself just slides out.
