    OK I noticed that a lot of Acer users are having thermal issues.
    Especially on those powerful graphics card.
    A sure win solution is undervolting.
    Use RMClock(Google) to undervolt the CPU test the stability using Intel Burn In (Google).
    I tried undervolting a guranteed 5 deg drop or more.
    Risky:
    For Graphics Card download nibitor
    Grab the Video BIOS and undervolt the BIOS then flash it to the card.

    This is just a suggestion.
    The CPU tweak is safe because changes are only loaded in Windows during testing with Intel Burn you might encounter BSOD but after a restart voltages should be safely restored while the GPU mod is dangerous because it involve flashing.
