Read that Acer already increased it from 85W to 100W and I checked that my unit is already at 100W, will it be possible for Acer to increase it further to its true Max 115W or is it just really the limitation of the Hardware/Power Charger?
Recently bought an AN515-45 (RTX 3070, Ryzen 5900HX) and pretty much did all the optimizations (Undervolting via AATU and Afterburner, editing Power Plan etc..) to lower the Temperature when under heavy load. With CPU Power Boost disabled, both my CPU and GPU hovers around 70-75C (when it's at Efficient Aggressive, only the CPU goes beyond 80). I find that disabling the Power Boost is optimal at the moment as CPU Utilization doesn't really go beyond 50-60% unlike GPU which is already 100% utilized. If ever I find a game that heavily utilizes CPU I might enable the boost in the future, I have a pretty efficient cooling solution to mitigate the increase in the temperature (have IETS GT500 and GT202 lol).
So since it's pretty good thermal result under load for the GPU, I was wondering if Acer increasing the Max TDP of the GPU would be a possibility. Also I wanted to preserve the laptops fan, will it be possible to make a custom Fan Curve or the Fan Curves are Bios locked? Nothing changes if I set the fan to Custom in Nitrosense since they still fluctuate even in the minimum.
Huge thanks to this subreddit as I learned a lot of tips on how to optimize the laptop. Battery aside lol, so far I love the performance of this thing and the Acer programs (Nitrosense, Quick Access, Care Center) are a bonus, it's a freaking huge upgrade from my old I5-7500 and GTX1060 desktop and I plan to use it and preserve it as much for the next 7-10 years maybe.
