It was indeed extremely loud when fully stressed (like a jet engine) and after about a month of use, the laptop burned itself out. I had it and it caused me nothing but problems. its a good thing you never got the Asus GL702ZC. which was odd because that thread indeed went to 256 odd pages.Īs for the laptop. there were no more pages after that on NBR itself. The thread in the archive was the one I was backing up. Just not sure I'd be happy with one due to thermals/required fan speeds, in practice. Still love the idea of a true desktop replacement like this though. I couldn't find a good web benchmark to test it with in its showroom status, but in the end passed on it as super noisy fans do tend to bother me I returned a Radeon 290 (or was it 290X) for that reason. I was sorely tempted to buy it but all reports were that it was louder than a jet engine when it was really ripping through threads and running the GPU. The Asus was cheaper, IIRC, and if one of them, I think the Asus, was at my local Micro Center. I think it was this Acer and an Asus that had desktop Ryzen 2000 CPUs. I actually kind of remember this notebook. If it's the latter, there's a very good chance it's in the archive, although perhaps not yet fully live. If it's the former, then I don't know what went on, by the time either of us got around to it there were 1345-1350 pages (depending on the day last week). I don't know if its a bug or something else but 135 pages is what I could salvage.ĭo you mean that the thread in the archive you linked to once had 255 pages on NBR? Or was there a second thread about the same laptop? The other 120 odd pages ceased to exist it seems (on Notebookreview). I archived 135 pages of the NBR thread on this laptop. If you really want all of one of those 4, make a note of it I have one other (HP Business Class) partially-imported high priority one as well. But getting at least a first pass of all the manufacturer forums is a priority before moving on to smaller threads/fixing ones that have elements that made them problematic to import. Threads that are partially backed up in Acer:Īt some point I plan to re-run the backup of the 4 that only partially succeeded, and if we have enough time we'll run on some more midsize threads as well. everything through the day before yesterday. This thread at NBR in particular is backed up through post 1347, i.e. plus for some reason, my fibre internet connection is also excrutiatingly slow today and I am also a bit swamped with college work, so I don't think I can maintain archiving the thread as it has over 200 pages.Īll but 4 Acer threads with a minimum of 100 replies (101 total posts) have been backed up those 4 are partially backed up (97 are entirely backed up). I started archiving the old NBR thread for this laptop, but the process is ridiculously slow. I have included CRU utility along with screenshot instructions in the attachment on how to solve the Freesync not working when you do a clean install of GPU drivers (if you are just upgrading the drivers from the older version on which Freesynch worked though then you shouldn't need CRU utility as Freesync should work if you're just upgrading). On FB, they kept saying they are pushing things to the IT teams and that I should get an email back from them, but no one ever contacts me (I'm thinking that even if the guy keeps sending notifications to the IT department, the IT guys just keep ignoring it). I tried raising this lack of BIOS update issue with Acer on Facebook and Twitter. namely, the laptop will probably refuse to run seeing how Ryzen Master affects the RAM speed on BIOS level - however, setting the RAM timings to factory RAM settings seems to work for most people when all slots are used. Ryzen Master CAN be used to increase the RAM speeds on the slower slots, however, if you input incorrect timings, or the RAM refuses to run at the newly set speeds, you end up with a massive issue. The slots which are on the easily accessible side of the laptop seem to only go as high as 2133MhZ (at least on my laptop). Right now, the slots right below the keyboard (the ones housing factory installed RAM) seem to be able to operate at either 2400 to 2666MhZ (I included screenshot of STOCK RAM timings just so you know what is what - I'm excruciatingly bad with RAM timings when it comes to actually setting them up and I need to educate myself better on that front). RAM slots seem to be limited to certain speeds due to lack of BIOS updates from Acer. RAM: 16GB (stock - preinstalled by Acer just below the keyboard) I figured we needed a thread continuation for this late 2018/early 2019 beast of a laptop with desktop grade hw.
