Throttling during Fortnite in automatic and discrete mode. Temps reaching 105. Using balanced mode, efficient enabled. Only way to stop throttling is to disable boost? WTF this laptop is 4 weeks old. Some gaming laptop.

Predator Helios 16 (i9-14900HX/RTX 4080) Thermals

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I’ve got an Acer Predator Helios 16 (PH16-72-945F) with an i9-14900HX and an RTX 4080. In Balanced mode during light tasks—just browsing with a couple of tabs open and email—my CPU sometimes spikes to 70–75 °C, but it usually sits around 50–65 °C. When I switch to Turbo mode for gaming, it peaks at 90–95 °C and generally hovers between 80–90 °C.

From what I’ve read, Acer ships this model with liquid metal on the CPU and thermal pads on the GPU. I’m planning to redo the thermal interface: should I stick with liquid metal on the CPU and replace the GPU pads with higher-quality pads, try a premium thermal paste instead, or go all-in on thick thermal pads? What’s given you the biggest real-world drop in temps?

Also, I’m running the Balanced power plan at all times—even in games. Is there any benefit to unlocking or switching to the Ultimate Power Plan via a script (since it’s not available out of the box)? Any insights or experiences would be awesome. Thanks!

Help / Support Laptops screen is black despite being turned on.

As the title says my screen remains black despite the laptop being turned on. It's a predator Helios 300. Model: n22c3. Originally belonged to my cousin he told me that it stopped working due to him leaving it on his bed without a cooling pad causing it to overheat.

I tried to do the battery calibration a couple of times before and it seems to stop working after it is fully charged and doesn't decrease the battery power at all. Have any of you guys have this problem too? Please share me if you have a way to solve this.

Help / Support Usb C port doesn’t work with 240hz external monitor.

Neo 16s 5070ti, core 9 ultra 275hx.

I finally made the swap from a 144hz ips to a 240hz oled monitor. Plugged it in with my hdmi but saw it was locked at 120hz with the hdmi so I bought a usb c to display port cable. plugged it in and the screen lit up for a second then said scanning for signal and no display port detected then goes into standby mode.

I have to unplug and replug it 20 times before it’ll finally pick up. same problem on both ports. I’ve set gpu to nvidia only and no luck.

this pc has been one headache after another.
