Gwalior temps are not so cool. Avg is 30c. Just now googled. :)) Well the problem could be because of drivers or BIOS as he is getting high temp only in gta4. I too was able to play GRID demo without a hint of throttling.

This laptop is surely not for you. The temp of surroundings plays imp role in lifetime of laptop. So..go for desktop. Why you wanted mobility?
And how about har and dan4u and other owners, they don't seem much worried like us. How are their laptops performing?

great just now played skyrim for 4 hours...because of hearing problems about sammy, i switch on FRAPS everytime i play the game, just to know whether throttling occurs or not.

So...i suppose you are not facing any throttling. What about temps?
What about others? There were around 20 owners where they all went?
I think i too got defective piece.

even i check temps every hour, cpuz is always running behind, though i checked only two games till now, crysis 2 at advanced settings(means below ultra=high settings), and skyrim also at high settings...max temp reaches upto 84C after playing for 4 hours. no throttling issues. after two days, im gonna play hot pursuit 2010 and crysis, lets see, how those games perform.

All we need now is the owners of the laptop to clarify these doubts, I mean just let us know, whether or not they face the problems, so we can know if the people with problems, have recieved a defective piece or w/e. I had a PM with har, who also owns the laptop, he said he had an update or something, and now everything is just fine.

@RON28: Yeah try HP 2010. When i played i faced throttling in every 10mins for like 5secs. And my max temp was i guess 87c.
And where is har, come on, if he is going well with the update then can he share with us,i mean the link?

If I'm correct, he doesn't recall what update exactly..but it's no out-of-the-box update..just the conventional ones that everyone gets. So that makes it two people, RON and har with no issues, and two people, with issues. right?

Yeah, and count ujjwal too in 'without issue' list.
@RON28, @demolisher48, and other owners: did you guys updated?
I didnt update yet,using GPRS so cant download anything.

yes, i set CPU to maximum 70% as i don't do any CPU intensive work and minimum at 50%. no i didn't updated anything yet, because im happy with temps and no issues. there is BIOS update which i didn't do.

Just got its i5 version and OMG it has 2 spots of dead pixels on the screen. I don't wanna take it to service center because I have heard that they replace the factory screen with a screen that is far low quality than that of the original one (though I have never myself dropped any sort of stuff on Samsung SC here in Srinagar).
OMG I'm ruined :(

@sohail Malik: get a replacement dude, you paid 50k and you are ok dead pixel?! get replacement is my suggestion.
@ujjwal: well you are getting nice temps, no worry for you. Enjoy bro. My touchpad become hot after a 1hr gaming. Max temp i have seen is 87.
Anybody know here voltage tweaking? I have been suggested by Sam that try changing voltage and see if it still throttle.
