8204 - some issues/advices requested

Hi all,

New to this forum, I'm the (quite) happy owner of a TM8204.

I got rid of all the ACER software, kinda buggy and slow. I uninstalled everything and just installed the notebook hardware control.

Here are my three (related) questions :

1. CPU temp, according to NHC, never goes under 66°C, even in dynamic switching when the comp has been running at 1 Ghz for a long time. Is it normal? Is there something to do to lower down the cpu temp?

2. what sofware do you use for this comp? I'm talking about software to replace the empowering technologies. i didn't like the acer power management. what graphic driver do u use?

3. this question is related to the first one. the fan is always on. and of course, this is a bit noisy. something to do?

thanks for all your advices... i'm new to acer, need help ;-)

have a good day!

NHC should be able to assist u in selecting the right performance/power management, thus lowering fan "noise" (?) its beginner user guide is quite informative cheers ...
