    Laptop overheating, but the fan won't spin at max rpm

    If you meant SpeedFan then yes I tried, but it doesn't detect. I guess it could make sense that there's so much dust that the fan is physically unable to spin any faster. I don't have much knowledge about laptops so I'll take it to the repair shop probably. If that's the only thing left that...

    Laptop overheating, but the fan won't spin at max rpm

    I have had an Acer v3-571G for about a year now. I play a fair bit of games on this thing and it was pretty decent regarding the temps. Right when I got it I tested it by playing nonstop for 2-3 hours and the cpu temps were at 80-85C which seems like alot but from what I've gathered It's pretty...

    10 gb ram possible ?

    Thanks for the quick answers and I know for sure it has 4 slots since I opened it up myself. I'll just match the 4gb stick I guess and go for the 10gb.

    10 gb ram possible ?

    Hello, I have an acer aspire v3-571G. The laptop has 4 ram slots and is currently on a 4+2 ram combo. I was wondering if I add another 4gb ram will it run fine on triple channel and would I need to activate it on BIOS or something ? I'm asking this since 10gb of ram isn't exactly common and I...

    Thanks to both of you. I guess I'll just get another one for the rare occasions when I'm not plugged in.

    Expected lifespan of my battery ?

    Ok, so I know there are alot of similar questions regarding laptop batteries, but I just hadn't found a straightforward answer for my situation. I just bought a new acer laptop and I plan on having it plugged in 24/7 while having the battery inserted. I do frequent, fairly long gaming sessions...

    The right GPU and CPU combo ?

    Hello, I'm having a tough time in deciding what laptop to get. It will be mostly used for multimedia and some gaming (DOTA 2 mainly and maybe BF3). These are the 2 options that I have available: i5 3337u + GT 740m i7 3612qm + GT 720m Both will have 4gb ram, but the one with 720m will be on 900p...

    Making the right choice for a budget laptop

    Forgot to write the models: Asus k56 cb and Acer V3 571G. Thanks for your opinions. Yeah the cpu is decent on the acer, especially since that i5 is low voltage. As for the high res on a small screen: I don't mind smaller text, especially when you can scale things up. For me more important than...

    Making the right choice for a budget laptop

    Hello, this is probably a silly question but I really want to see what other people think about which of these 2 laptops make more sence: 1: ASUS with an i5 3337U, GT 740m, aluminum body and a painfully average 1366x768 TFT screen. 2: Acer with an i3 3110m, GT 730m, plastic and bigger body...
