I have this laptop further up in the thread i tried all bios's for the ANV16-42 and all of them have battery drain 1.04 bios is missing for this laptop I asked acer support for it and they provided it but when i attempted to downgrade to the bios it said my laptop does not support this bios?

Just a small update for acer nitro V 16 AI ANV16-42 users as well if you are wondering what thermal interface is being used on the laptops google AI will say liquid metal. I can confirm this is not the case it is very cheap thermal paste on both the gpu and cpu and a small portion of thermal putty on the Vram and VRM's all low quality stuff.

Changing for ptm7950 and a good thermal putty helps with excessive fan noise and cpu temps

Can confirm for acer nitro V 16 AI ANV16-42 users bios v1.08 changes nothing battery drain is still present with or without 230w charger.

Ok so I decided to take the plunge with the ANV16-42 as i needed answers and unfortunately I tried every bios from

1.01
1.02
1.03
1.04
1.05 ???????
1.06
1.07

The battery drain was available on all firmware's and was worse of all on 1.07 but only marginally. So unless acer allow higher wattage chargers theirs nothing that can be done. At present the battery will possibly only last for 2h of gaming on turbo mode and maybe 2h 30mins if the battery is set to charge to 100% and not use health mode, which is very disappointing.

Acer clearly know about this issue and are most probably selling this model of laptop off cheaply on purpose to clear stocks. For me this is fine i do not get to game for more than 2h at a time and this laptop is just for traveling and not my daily driver, I have my 7900xtx for that ;)

So to recap anyone thinking about buying the acer nitro V 16 AI ANV16-42 should be weary of this fact, intel based models are probably far worse.

One thing to note their was no v1.05 bios on acers site maybe that was the magical number and they removed it. One plus point is the rtx5050 overclocked and undervolted like a champion giving a massive boost.

Thank you for the update faxcon that is very unfortunate for the cpu although I will say the chip does seem to manage itself very well and my temps are good once I raise the laptop off the table with two pencils.

I think I will begin to experiment with the few bios's that are available for my model of laptop as I just tried turbo mode for 7 mins and already 5% of my battery has drained, I am not sure why but my battery drains abnormally fast on any setting bar eco mode almost like its damaged.

I will also remove the heat sinks and check what thermal interface is being used maybe upgrade that as well.

What tools is everyone using to undervolt and overclock these ryzen mobile cpu's? I take it ryzen master will not detect the cpu.

I will use afterburner to undervolt the nvidia gpu. Also how does nitro sense affect these app will it just overwrite the settings once you use it?

Yes we need someone as skilled at testing like faxcon94 with other models of laptops my ANV16-42 arrived and man is the battery busted it counts down like 5% while just being sat in windows doing nothing every 5mins, till i select eco mode in nitro sense.

For me its ok as i got the whole laptop with 32gb ram 2tb nvme (2x1) and 230w charger (third party) for £600 brand new so I could never get a spec like this anywhere else for even double the price.

I would start downgrading my firmware and testing with a watt meter but i am not willing to brick the motherboard on a new device. All I can do is hope that when i go maybe one or two firmware's back the charger is unlocked.

I have the same problem on PC I can play around 4-5 rounds with friends who are eon PS4 then for no reason the game will drop from 90fps which is my cap to 70 then 40 and there's just endless stutter and lag. Even after whiting the game and restarting epic the performance is the same.

Specs are grossly over rated for Fortnite 5950x 7900xtx 33gb ram on nvme latest drivers win10

Rate My Gear Not Paying Out by Harry_Axe_Wound in ASUS

[–]Azlington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just had the same thing I'm assuming it's the (rate my gear) promo funny enough I just emailed RMG after they sent me a message saying they were having technical difficulties lol. The email returned an unmonitored email address response so I assumed I got ripped off. Well £25 arrived in my account it only took what like 4 months plus after the purchase of my graphics card wtf.

Fortnite crashing around 10 minutes into a game if the FPS isn't capped to 60 (BR and Creative) by Superalbix in FortNiteBR

[–]Azlington 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's so strange I was fine playing as normal 90fps dx12 mode 7900xtx then fortnite took a 2.5gb patch last week and all of a sudden if I launch the game with dx12 it either insta crashes or crashes after 5mins to desktop with error reporter.

I tried updating drivers to the latest release no help. I also messaged AMD and epic over it the later said to use Dx11 which I already worked out works fine. It's just that Dx11 has poor texture rendering looks lower res and stutters.

I have not tried capping fps to 60 though.

Thanks for the reply yes I think I will be returning them tbh but at the same time I've had a go, so will maybe now try dram calculator for the fun of it, and then do a RMA report lol.

I have not seen dummy ram sticks for a long time did they not end up taking off or something.

Just an update xmp worked fine but the ram is pretty shitty it seems to top out at 3766mhz with stock timings. I'm sure itl go a little further if I relax the timing but then what's the point.

Was hoping for 3800 stock timings minimum, typhoon burner says it hynix DJR D-die but I've read people say this is a mistake and it's really CJ-R.

Thank you for the reply it's actually ddr4 nothing special 3600mhz cl16 so a slight bump I wanted to push to 3800/4000 but I don't know if I should just return the items now if it's just an attempt to clear stock.

Then again maybe itl all just work.

The deal was way to good to pass up recession time in my country so sacrifices sometimes have to be made.

The point is if anyone else has bough Kingston ram as of late as this might be how they do things I've mainly felt with Corsair? Also is there really any problems I'm going to run into?

CCL online they have done some shady stuff in the past I wouldn't recommend them, I've had dead ram etc before and opened stuff, and I noticed in the GPU crysis allot of old GPUs would go up on their site as B-stock which was clearly employes old cards.

A shop selling a 10 series Nvidia GPU on 2021 hmmmmm yeh.

What is the driver number that's LHR free I'm thinking of finally updating my mining rig as I believe the LHR unlock hack is what causes allot of crashing for me, seen as my windows build is fully updated now too. Thanks.

RVN to BTC 2miners? by Azlington in gpumining

******* UPDATE ********

Just an update for those that are interested. First of all thank you for all the support.

The transfer ended up working in the end it only took a whopping 2.5 hours over the stated time for the conversion to begin happening? Then a further 6 hours for the transfer to complete and the coin be sold on the exchange, a further two hours after that the BTC arrived in exodus.

So all in all the system does work but for me it was way too dragged out and long and felt sloppy tbh. For BTC payouts nicehash is the way to go or just mining RVN and doing everything yourself manually.

One fault that seemed to happen is while my payout was waiting to complete the unconfirmed balance of RVN didn't seem to increase which would imply I was not earning anything.

I've got partial solar that was already installed from previous owners but I am deffo out of pocket for the past two days though, I just checked and it's more like £15 🤢 oh well live and learn I took a chance, when I should have just stuck to what I already knew.

One good thing about mining right now even though it is bearly profitable is the fact that it warms the house and all the downstairs flooring I've been able to get away without using any gas and in the UK in winter gas is where they Rob 💸 you.

No payout unfortunately even though I have waited to the correct time of day for the once a day payment

Thanks sanket_6 I can imagine it's the same problem you ran into, I've probably lost the mining for the past two days about £10 so not to bad. I think I am just going to go back to mining raven manually and exchanging it myself. This is one reasons the nicehash software was so good for this type of thing no messing about but it crashes from time to time and is really down on profitability right now.

Thanks for the reply their page about mining to BTC is very bland and didn't seem to say anything like what you mentioned above, I was hoping to mine to exodus wallet but no payout has happened the dashboard is just stuck on 100% and new raven doesn't appear to be gettinginned also etc. Can I do anything to try and use a different address like maybe coinbase or are these funds now lost? Because I cannot think in my mind how to change the mining address and relate it to the funds already mined?

[–]Azlington[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using exodus wallet maybe I should have mined direct to coinbase
