Oh guess what I just did, repasted my cpu it drops my idle temps by 1C to 39C 41C. I used AS5 so after curing time it will probably gets better. I will try to test it to give you a max load temp an hour or so from now btw, my room temp is around 25C

UPDATE: my max temps after repaste with AS5 are: cpu-79, gpu 83??? (this is weird but I might have to do a repaste again )

Have you used laptop cooler for the test? The idle temps is awesome.

Yea I always use the laptop cooler when testing or gaming. Without laptop cooler, max temp load before repaste is more or less 95C cpu and 85C gpu.

Day 1 and wear is now at 4%...

Heat is not the reason for the high wear, cause I haven't done anything serious with the machine yet. I just don't want to send it to Acer so they can replace my battery. It's a principle, I shouldn't send a new machine in for a repair!

I'll go through more cycles and see if it just continues

mine was at 4% out of the box too.

drain the battery down to hibernation level, and recharge it overnight.

tomorrow see if it goes up a bit, then proceed to use it for a few hrs a day on battery and see if it keeps increasing

It went up to 4%, down to 2% and now 4% again :S

I think you might have a wear-o-phobia

I think you might have a wear-o-phobia

It may be unimportant now, but if it rises to 20-30% in short time, then it's a problem

[johnnycasaba]

that is so weird....

like i said earlier i play at least a few hrs of sc2 a day.

i'm at 0.0% of 65,405 mwh right now.

did you try a battery cycle?

when i first got mine the wear was already at 4%. I drained teh battery all the way down to 5% hibernation lvl, and recharged. wear went up to 5.5%. then over the course of the next week it dropped down to 2%. now it's at 0%.

i use my laptop on battery for a few hours every morning, and leave it plugged in the rest of the day

Hello,

5830T owner here that is concerned about the battery wear levels too. Mine is at 1.4% after 3 cycles. ihaveabu, you do have wear, the new max capacity of the battery is 66,600 mWh.

Also a new 5830T owner. Could someone point me in the right direction on what types of bloatwear to uninstall and what to do as soon as i get this computer? I'm currently running down the battery and going to recharge it to fix the wear level on the battery. Netflix hd lags for me ;( What else is there that I can do to speed up my system? already installed battery bar, i have a sanyo battery. Thanks a bunch. And i'm really happy to have found this forum!

Welcome to the forum First, I uninstalled Acer games, McAfee anti virus, Acer video conference, and some other unimportant things that I cant remember right now.. Oh also make sure to get rid of the microsoft office 2010 TRIAL and install your own office softwares

edit: you have the TG or the T version? with the GT 520M?
