Then, age hardware which is ‘old’ and rarely cleans the fan in the device to be one of the two other reasons that trigger the temperature rise.
However, the Acer Nitro 5 Ryzen 4000 will not cause overheating during play. This is still related to the concept of devices that use design heatsink. As we expected, the Acer Nitro Ryzen 4000 already includes four port dedicated to dissipating heat. The placement is even, namely on the right, left, and back of the laptop. The temperature does not immediately heat up even though the laptop is used for a long time.
Through a short test, the Acer Nitro 5 Ryzen 4000 can run stably when used for games that are quite heavy. Acer’s new thermal solution is claimed to be 25% better than the others. We also found that this device is equipped with Acer CoolBoost which can increase fan speed by up to 10% and CPU/GPU cooling by up to 9%. The result? We didn’t hear the noise that usually comes from the fan running beyond capacity.

Then, Acer also immersed in the large storage space of the two slots provided for the M/2 Pcle SSD. In fact, for RAM there are two slots that can be filled up to 32GB with one SATA slot.

This feature allows users to set the temperature level, fan speed, up to keyboard 4-zone RGB that will bring the game to life.
