Noise Level

Acer equipped its Predator G6-710 with a total of three fans. One fan is located on the CPU heatsink, another one has been screwed to the back of the case and the third one is in the power supply unit. When the system is running in idle the noise level can be described as subjectively speaking audible but not disturbing. Once we’ve put the system under full load the fans occasionally start to spin up causing the noise level to go all the way up to 47.0 dBA, which is subjectively speaking loud.

With ambient temperatures at 23°C, we measured reasonable temperatures regarding processor and graphics card, using Prime95 64bit and FurMark for stress testing purposes.
