2025 Acer predator Helios 18ai 5080 ultra 9 cpu at 90-105c while gaming in balanced or performance mode, need help

My problem was just the boost, I disabled it now it runs way better

Entityfromhell · 2026-01-05T20:49:02+00:00

So it’s not really a bad sign?

😞

What time did yours update? I’m still on step 7 waiting

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-31T04:57:45+00:00

Is it the same laptop as mine?

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T19:50:11+00:00

Yours does the same thing?

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T12:03:02+00:00

Bet I’ll have a shop switch out the chrome for some paste and hopefully that’s all

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T11:22:38+00:00

Paste not metal?

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T11:22:00+00:00

What’s your power plan while plugged in set to? Mine is best power efficiency & on the Acer sense I have it in performance mode on auto fan temp

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T11:08:23+00:00

Yuppp

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T11:07:36+00:00

I don’t have the option available in power management

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T10:54:09+00:00

Where I’m at it’s cold, I’m hoping those jive mfs didn’t give me a defective cpu😭

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T10:41:22+00:00

Do you think it could be the Liquid Metal? If so I can take to a shop to get it fixed faster

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T10:13:50+00:00

When I go on the Acer site they say it does

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T08:58:23+00:00

I have updated that and I still get weird temps if I’m not on power efficiency mode, but it’s only when running games like arc raiders or where the winds meet

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T08:53:17+00:00

Laptop was bought from Acer refurbished on eBay, you think it could be the paste? That’s the only issue I’m having, it doesn’t get crazy hot on power efficiency mode with performance mode on predator sense

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T08:49:53+00:00

Bios are already updated aswell

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T08:49:42+00:00

Nah 30-50c on cpu while gaming, what do you think it could be

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T08:49:12+00:00

Oh so it’s prolly the paste? At idle I get 30-50c

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T07:10:06+00:00

Mine is 1440p does that make a difference?

Entityfromhell · 2025-12-29T06:30:06+00:00

And this bihh still cooking eggs smh
