In terms of cooling, the Predator Helios 500 (PH517-52) features the proprietary Acer PowerGem system that sits on top of the CPU and serves to distribute the heat it generates throughout the device. We get two fans underneath to keep the laptop cool during intense gaming or editing sessions. Like most gaming laptops, users can play with RGB light on the keyboard, but additionally at the bottom chassis. The custom utility app lets users monitor the system, customise RGB preferences, and much more. The app even allows users to choose between four modes – Quiet, Default, Extreme, and Turbo.
