Acer Nitro 17 (AN17-51) review – has a capable cooling and great display

Storage performance

The SSD of our laptop is 1TB SAMSUNG MZVL21T0HCLR-00B07. Below you can see some benchmarks of this Gen 4 SSD which is actually pretty snappy.

Unfortunately, we observed some thermal throttling while benchmarking the SSD – it reached 79°C.

The performance drop is visible (but it’s not huge).

On the bright side, this isn’t a problem during normal usage such as gaming or even heavy CPU loads. Before pounding the NVMe with serious stress, we performed all the CPU and GPU benchmarks, and the SSD temperature was just 43°C.

I have this laptop, but with Micron 3400 512Gb Ssd and 2×8 GB Ram
I undervolted Rtx 4060 via Msi afterburner (2250 Mhz at 0.825 V) max TGP is 68W with minimal loose of fps and GPU memory is set +1000 (18 Gbps)
I disabled E cores in Bios and set CPU PL1/PL2 manually to 65/85W this will assure max turbo 5 GHz and in stress mode all core turbo ~4.1 GHz all time (4.5 Ghz for 30 sec)
With this settings I have solid performance in games, much lower temps and power draw overall
