Acer Nitro 5 An515-58 Gaming Laptop

[Charlesetta Blare]

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.

the most convenient choice for you, since they are available, would be finding the 12xxx series processors models. since the 13th are coming out now, more often than not resellers are giving away at huuuge discounts the previous models to empty stores. i got mine at 1250 euros, it has a 12700h processor, an rtx 3060 with 6gb ddr6, 16gb ram (can upgrade to 64 but will probably bring to just 32 with little to no expense, ram nowadays is cheap) and 1tb ssd.

done that, you can get a wonderful deal, now is the exact time since basically in a couple months there will probably be no more previous gen models around, all line up replaced with last more pricey model.

all that said: i played loads of time on gaming notebooks, changing various brands at times even in same period. in the end all last yrs i played only on msi notebooks. they are very solid reliable beasts.

D4 is not very a very consuming ressource game, what you have more than enough. Myself I use and play 100% laptop (connect to a monitor 27").

But for others game I m not sure, will depend which one.

BTW if you plan to buy I would recommand a RTX gen.4 (not 3).

not a fan of acer. mind you, the whole discussion to me, is about the katana version. that only i address. not comparing here other laptops, gaming or not. as said, i play only on msi from yrs, for a reason. all gaming laptops in general are better at gaming (doh) than common laptops, but that because everything else being the same (processor, gpu, ram etc), what makes the difference is the focus on cooling. usually gaming laptops address that specifically, since that tends to be a relevant issue.

I would recommend a cooling pad with ANY laptop though. Anything graphics intensive will generate heat so more cooling is always good. I have a cooling pad with a fan in it that I use. My last laptop made it 9 years before I had to replace it - and it technically still works, it just freezes when the fans kick int. heh.

Specs look good, though I would upgrade to 32gb ram just to be good.

Also I would verify the power of the cpu. GPU is more than fine but always gotta check the cpu. Needs to be pretty close to last gen to be a good investment.
