[Bug]: AN515-58 config makes laptop turn into an airplane engine

[scanash00]

Describe the bug

Using the configuration for Acer Nitro 5 AN515-58 will make your laptop turn into an airplane engine once a while. The configuration needs some rework to make sure the laptop doesn't end up flying off.

This is no joke, it really does turn into an airplane engine, this is probably because it uses max power instead of a little bit.

Relevant log output

no log

Hello,

Please post the output of nbfc get-model-name and cat /etc/nbfc/nbfc.json. What does nbfc status say when the fan goes crazy?

This is not a bug, i have the same laptop model and all you gotta do is edit some of the values in the config file just like i have done according to my needs.

You can find the config file here /usr/share/nbfc/configs/'Acer Nitro AN515-58.json'.
