    Hi guys, i'm from Brazil (sorry about my english) and i dont know what else do with this notebook.
    So here's the deal, i upgraded his bios to 1.43 and the temp wont go below 70ºC no matter what i do. What could be the problem?
    Thanks! :)

    1. Dust. Try to open the laptop and clean the vent and the heatsink grill.
    2. Replace the crappy thermal paste ACER have used with new one - Arctic Silver 5 is one of the best.
    3. Undervolting the CPU can lower the temps by 10ºC or more, check The Undervolting Guide.

    make sure nothing cpu or gpu intensive is loading on startup.

    is your cooling fan running?
