Describe the wonderfulness
The "Acer Predator G3-572" configuration works pretty well on "Acer Nitro 5 AN515-52-75Q8". The GPU and CPU fans behave pretty well on all applications I could see for now (casual usage, gaming and benchmark). The output of command "nbfc status" are particulary close to the reality and the fans looks to behave pretty well. I suggest you modify the critical temp to 75ºC. The fans are never turned off, as expected. As far I could see, the all application consumed about 50Mb of RAM! Well... If it is not the solution, at least will lead to the correct solution. I hope this helps other people to know understand the EC from the Acer Nitro 5 series, cos I dont. Hahaha
To Reproduce
Follow the guide presented on "https://github.com/hirschmann/nbfc/wiki/First-steps" and pay attention to the NEW stable version of Mono and not from your repositories that may be outdated as mine was.
Expected behavior
Happiness

I'm passing through some problems right now. I'm not totally capable of distinguish if it was a problem of my hardware or caused by NFBC. Wail for updates. Developer says:
Is there a way to reset my notebook if something went wrong?
Usually, if you disable the fan control service, it will reset the EC (which controls the fans).
If this does not work, you can reset the EC manually.
If the notebook has a removable battery:
Turn off the notebook, unplug it and remove the battery for about 20-30 seconds.
In case the battery is not removable:
Turn off the notebook, unplug it and press and hold the power button for 10-15 seconds. If that doesn't work, search in your notebook's user manual for a way to reset it.

Update:
Fortunately, everything is right. My suggestion to the developer is put an aware on first steps or create one page calling "usage warnings". Mainly reporting some troubles that one could pass and recommended actions in that case.
What I passed through? I passed through overheating even though the fans was at max speed! My kernel was throwing warnings on my screen of thermal throttle! That's too aggressive! Take care on probing your EC end at first opportunity, please reset your EC as suggested by the author. =)
On Acer laptops, there is an thin hole that you put some needle in it and the batters will be "removed" and reset the EC to factory. So... you are an Acer user that is the solution. So... right now... I wont use that software increase my fan speed and I dont recommend no one to do so. Anyway, the developer has done a great job here!
P.S.: sometimes my kernel throw messages of warnings yet. Fortunately I can imagine the reason. In the last instalation I put the critical temperature to 75ºC! So... I will make some testes and see if I can get rid of this message using the same configuration again e re-seting with higher temperatures my EC again. =) Yeah! On notebooks, some applications one or more cores can get temperatures above higher than 75ºC. The i7 8750H processor heats too much (that was the reason of trying this software).
@renanwp2 commented on GitHub (Jan 12, 2020):
My suggestion to developer is to make people aware that this software need some libs from playonlinux (maybe Lutris also works, but not tested) to to build too! =)
@renanwp2 commented on GitHub (Jan 12, 2020):
After tests, notebook is normal! So.. that's it! Try to put the max temp to 100ºC and make a good fan curve and reset the EC; and voila! You are welcome. =) Hope this helps people in future! Performance is yet good and my system is working properly without any NBFC. I don't like my vendor's fans curve, but I will try it when someone will be capable of make a good configuration for me. =) Developer is great and open source is even better, <3

Other warning to the developer, I dont know why, but the temperatures of the GPU seems worng (in my case they are located on 180 register reporeted by ec-proc monitor) on my laptop with Acer Predator G3-572 config. The funny thing is that my EC reports two CPU temps in register 176 and 177 luls. Maybe because of that I the NBFC confuses the CPU temp with the GPU temp as the same. My suggestions is allow user supplied register for temps. For exemple, I don't know if this program works with dual GPUs laptops and this is common on new laptops. =) I have intel UHD 640 graphics card and Nvidia 1050ti graphics card.
