I don't know about your exact laptop but I 'rebuilt' and modded an Acer Aspire A315-41-R98U recently for a friend of mine.Intel has XTU for fine tuning their processors? What about AMD guys? Enter the Ryzen Master for Desktop chips and Ryzen Controller for Laptops! Acer's AMD Ryzen APU laptops of this gen, including the Nitro 5 throttle/stop boosting 80c by defaultĢnd.

As OP discovered, there's a limited boost period (and current/power over time limits) to control thermals and limit battery consumptionģrd. The stock cooler on the A315-41 was woefully insufficient for continuous load of any sort.ġ is resolved using a cTDP utility like Ryzen Controller and raising the throttle temp to AMD's spec or near it ~90c.Ģ is resolved with the same utility, but will need to play with the power and time limits for boost.ģ was resolved by installing the Nitro 5's (AN515-42) MUCH beefier cooler using Liquid Metal TIM after masking and sealing the CPU package w/ clear nailpolish. (I also applied Kapton tape to the mobo under the GPU cooling section of the cooler to prevent flexing from causing a short) The PWM control for fan 2 can be bridged off the PWM control from fan 1, power and ground can be gotten from a nearby USB port. I also added a small switch into the Kensignton lock port that disconnects the PWM line to both fans which will run them 100%. The beefier cooler does not need this feature, and I don't recc doing this, but it's neat having a 'yeet mode' switch.
