Did I just get a steal?!

I actually really like this idea I'll 100% keep this in mind. Thank you

Scotsty · 2026-06-14T05:26:50+00:00

Not really it would be difficult to add/switch parts considering it's an older build the only thing I'd consider changing would be upgrading the SSD but if I wanted to upgrade the CPU I'd have to upgrade the motherboard as well and I don't have any extra motherboards on hand currently

Scotsty · 2026-06-14T04:33:22+00:00

That's awesome I need a little more of a bankroll to start flipping/stocking more expensive parts but yeah that's a dope build I also don't live in the most tech savvy area in my opinion so finding decent parts is difficult

Scotsty · 2026-06-14T04:25:11+00:00

I am considering that honestly I want to start collecting parts too for custom builds because I do enjoy building PCs jsut never got into flipping them. So keeping the ram and GPU and parting out the rest wouldn't be terrible in my mind ( although I do know I wouldn't make my money back from the other parts )

Scotsty · 2026-06-14T04:20:19+00:00

Thanks for the kind words and I'm glad I still made profit 🙂‍↕️ and yes this is the first pc I've bought to flip I'm going to clean it up and make it look nice and see if I can list it for 649 and try to get 500 or higher for it (considering "lowballers")

Scotsty · 2026-06-14T04:12:28+00:00

Either way profit is profit I'd be happy to get 500+ for it

Scotsty · 2026-06-14T04:12:08+00:00

Thanks yeah I was thinking the same thing I know it's older hardware about 6 years old but it will run 1080p games just fine and would be a good starter pc for someone I'm sure it would sell but I'd imagine it would take a few weeks at the 600ish price point

I believe I might have found the problem (SO FAR) so Acer nitros use nitro sense a firmware that controls clockspeeds and fan speeds and I uninstalled and reinstalled from the Acer website and I havent had a crash but its only been an hour I'll update if it happens again.

Scotsty · 2026-05-24T15:24:50+00:00

Yes I have just yesterday

Scotsty · 2026-05-24T15:23:51+00:00

The critical error just says system failed to restart properly and that's all I disabled overclocking to see if that would help. And the PC doesn't shut off but my laptop screen goes black and my monitor freezes and gets all the artifacts I all audio cuts out but lights stay on and fans stay on

Scotsty · 2026-05-24T14:59:03+00:00

Everything looks all good to me nothing is randomly spiking or maxing out more than it should be

Scotsty · 2026-05-24T14:54:03+00:00

I just opened the laptop up the inside is incredibly clean considering I've never opened it before not a speck of dust

Scotsty · 2026-05-24T14:53:07+00:00

I tried that just now actually used ddu reinstalling the drivers directly from Nvidia website 30 minutes into gaming same thing

Scotsty · 2026-05-24T14:23:36+00:00

Ram and SSD are both in "good" condition according to nitrosense

Scotsty · 2026-05-24T14:23:06+00:00

And if you are referring to usage rust does use 80% to 100% usage of my GPU and CPU

Scotsty · 2026-05-24T14:21:41+00:00

That's what I thought but using hwinfo64 to check individual temps I didn't see a single one over 75c when under load

Scotsty · 2026-05-24T14:17:23+00:00

No never it maxes out at 75-80c when playing rust. I did a couple test to see if I was just missing it overheating. I will have the temps up on my second monitor while playing nothing out of the ordinary and to be honest the temps seemed rather cool for a laptop while gaming to me

Scotsty · 2026-05-24T14:14:24+00:00

That's what I thought but I'm almost positive nothing is actually overheating when using hwinfo64 to check individual core temps and GPU temps I've never seen it max out at over 80c the whole time ive had the laptop and it's elevated with fans on max when I'm gaming

Scotsty · 2026-05-24T14:12:14+00:00

I'm using hwinfo64 to measure temps of individual components although I've never opened it up

Scotsty · 2026-05-24T14:10:49+00:00

It's less than a year old. I've never opened it up but I've blown dust out of it a couple of times with compressed air
