I just wanted to share with you guys my personal experience re-pasting my Acer Nitro 5. Its quite an easy task if you have the appropriate tools. Removing everything such as the fans the cables for the WiFi card and all the connectors like for the battery and fans was a very easy process. I highly recommend checking out how to efficiently remove and apply thermal paste in detail. I personally used Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut thermal paste and my results are notorious. For example, games such as COD MW would have my CPU running anything from 90-95 in the lowest settings. after this job i get temperatures of anything from 80-85 in normal settings. Same thing with CSGO high settings would be anything from 90C after applying thermal paste temperatures did decrease at around 80C. Repasting your laptop is something I highly recommend doing. If you guys have any questions you can lmk

How long does thermal grizzly last? What are the best alternatives that lasts longer? Please let me know.

[@Meanpooh]

Thermal paste can last a couple of years or more, depending on how you use your computer. The best way to tell when it needs replacing is by monitoring the temperatures. If you notice that your games or other applications are causing higher-than-usual temperatures, it’s likely time to reapply the paste.

[@Falconerix]

I've done a repaste and ram upgrade exactly like you've done on yours - my highest cpu temp under heavy load (gaming) is about 89c deg. Think that's good or bad? It averages between 50-75c when gaming and bounces between 49 and 60c when using generally (browsing or photoshop). I use a cooling pad too, which helps a ton. Anything else you recommend?

[@Meanpooh]

Congrats, that's a good temp. I think you've covered all the bases on trying to cool. If everything is fine then I wouldn't even undervolt.

[@kmart1878]

@@Meanpooh Thanks buddy! I've been a bit paranoid about temps since I've repasted but your vid has helped a lot since I've moved over to this laptop - I've been so used to desktop rigs all these years! I only run some racing sims with Assetto Corsa being pretty heavy all round, AMS takes from the cpu a bit - NR2003 is quite old and I get crazy fps with it but mods do take out a lot from the cpu which is where the 89c temp has come from. Witcher III runs smooth on high but isn't overkill either as far as I can tell. Also did the battery thing to 99% as well, but I usually run everything on performance instead of balanced - think that could raise any issues? or leave it as is? Does the "cool boost" in nitrosense help at all or does it degrade the fans any btw? Also nice to see someone from the 502 :)

Hey, I have the exact same laptop which I bought a month ago. My temps are quite high (CPU temps only, GPU temps are normal (around 70-75 under max usage). Probably around 85-95 (cpu temp) - that's on either high performance, acer balanced, or balanced. The only thing that reduces CPU temps is putting it on power saver, which in some games doesn't drop any FPS, but in the worst case maybe a max decrease of 10 fps. On power saver, CPU temps are in the high 60s / low 70s. I'm certain that repasting will yield similar results to this video (an approx decrease of 10 degrees). I want to do it, but I'm still under warranty and am happy playing on power saver mode as the FPS is still great!

Hello all, i have newest acer nitro 5 model 2020 with Intel core i7-10750H, 16GB RAM, Nvidia RTX 2060 6GB. From the box i tried games without anything. On The Walking dead : Definitive Series = after 15 minutes max pick temperature on CPU 92 degrees celsius. I bought cooling pad Cooler Master Notepal U3 Plus. After this in The Walking dead game after one hour approx. max pick 80 - 85 degrees celsius. So i was really glad and happy that this "external" option worked for me. But ! I installed Battlefield 5. Settings : Full HD 144hz, ULTRA, RTX off - approx. 90FPS during game, after half an hour max pick in temperature on HWmonitor 99 degrees celsius !!! So. I had at home Thermal Grizzly - Kryonaut (i am from middle Europe and this paste is pretty normal to buy everywhere here). I forgot about my warranty and repasted CPU and GPU with Kryonaut. After this, with paste and cooling pad FANs on MAX RPM - after half an hour BF5 max pick in HW monitor 97 degrees celsiu with Thermal throttling on every core. Frankly i am pretty lost what is going on and pretty upset because this notebook has very, very nice performance in games but those temperatures are extremly high. I have checked Intel XTU but my CPU is not supported (yet ??? i hope) and i do not want to do under volt in BIOS. Currently i am thinking about modification this Notepal U3 for some better FANs because i think passive cooling helped more than those three pretty weak FANs. But i am pretty lost in this case also.

However, i managed solve this issue different way or maybe the same way just from another route. I downloaded Intel XTU and yes, there was mearly all features locked (like overcloking and undervolting etc.) without one. TURBO BOOST. I found issue with my temprature on CPU is within Turbo Boost feature. I do not know why, but default by manufacturer there was Turbo Boost set to 75W (which is little bit strange because officialy Intel writing on their website that maximum for this type of CPU in Turbo Boost is 45W) and temporary Turbo Boost was 107W. I played with this feature and set it to 25W temporary boost of power and only ! 20W to TURBO BOOST. 1 hour of gaming BF5 average temperature on CPU was 75 degrees celsius, max pick was 83 degress celius only for a second. After 1 hour without thermal throttling on any of cores. So it looks this solved temperature issue and without any significant loss in game performance (i did not see any FPS drops in BF5). In The Walking Dead Definitive Series temperature after whole one episode was average 70 degress celsiu on CPU and Max pick 78. Maybe this will help someone else, who experiencing issues with temperatures in Acer Nitro 5.

NT-H1 is fine.

My temps have been so high im wondering if nitro sense is becoming inaccurate or the sensor is damaged. It says I go up to 103C and then goes up and down between 83C and 97C. Will repasting help?

[@Meanpooh]

103 is too warm and I'm surprised that it has not shut down on you. Before repasting check and see if you still have warranty and then start a chat with Acer. Let them fix it as there might be something else going on. You can also try opening the machine and blowing out the fans with air for electronics. Warranty check www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/system-information Chat support service.acer.com/chat/support/en/US/

I don't really need to do this as I'm using the AMD 4600h but I was just wondering what apps do you use to tell you whether it's thermal throttling or not.?

its called hwinfo, and if you want to check amd cpu temps on msi afterburner, you would need that app because normal msi afterburner can't detect amd cpu temps i don't know why, correct me if am wrong.

Hi, i also have a acer nitro 5 that i just bought 1 week ago. But my problem is that every time i connect the charger while gaming it starts to overheat between 88-95c and the FPS starts to drop. But when i unplugged it, everything goes smooth the FPS is stable and even the temperature is normal between 70-80c max. So please can u tell me whats the problem

[@bandonboklangshabong1678]

That's what, it's thermal throttling on full power, so a repaste is what you need. My triton is exactly showing such behavior. Repasting it with the Corsair TM30. Will share the results as I won't be using kryonaut.

[@danny1661]

Hello, can I use the same thermal paste on GPU & CPU to VRAM (Pink paste)?

[@Meanpooh]

You can use the same thermal paste on CPU and GPU. You cannot use thermal grease(Liquid Metal,arctic Silver) on VRAM. You have to use either replacement Thermal pads or a very viscous thermal paste. It’s almost as thick putty. Some versions are a vanilla color or pink in color.

Hi all! I made my repaste and everything seems to be fine, but my computer every day in the morning now it makes some kind of boot cycle , I cant tell the issue, but when it turns on windows wont let me use the pin code because of multiples shutdowns? before repasting I install a HDD and it did it once, but now it is constant , what could it be? (in te morning because after that cycle it dont make it againg after the next day)

Are you still having that problem?

@@KmanFlyDrone Great work on fixing the issue. That was what i was gonna ask. If the CPU or GPU does not have a tight fit, it will heat up quickly. Anyway, great work! 👍

Yep, it's about time. MX-4 should work, it's better than the cheap stuff.

Did you replace the thermal pads? This will cause a rise in temps. You should also try undervolting as well.
