Can confirm this works. Did the same thing on mine and its been solid ever since.

Saw this earlier and thought id share my experience since i was in the same boat. Spent way too much time looking at spreadsheets comparing the Nitro vs Predator series. Basically learned that the TGP matters way more than most people realize. Some of those thinner builds really throttle the card. My current setup is a Lenovo Legion Pro 5i Gen 8 RTX 4070 which I grabbed because the cooling data just looked way better for the price. Honestly im super happy with it, no complaints at all. It handles everything i throw at it and the thermals stay solid even during 4-hour sessions. Just keep an eye on the wattage ratings for the gpu in those Acer deals, cuz some are capped way lower than others. Its basically the difference between a smooth experience and constant stuttering when things get hot...

honestly im kinda wary of some of the cheaper deals you see popping up lately. not 100% sure but i think i remember reading that some of the budget builds had hinge issues or weird cooling problems after a year or so, so you might want to consider checking the build quality really carefully before you buy anything. iirc the more expensive lines are usually way more reliable but you still gotta watch the thermals... someone told me the factory thermal paste can be a bit of a gamble. just be careful with those huge discounts on older stock because they might just be clearing out units with known quirks. if you find something you like tho, definitely go for it! hit me up if you need a second pair of eyes on any specs you find...
