For all those with 6017tx or 6121tx and have overheating problem while gaming please use this method

1. Switch to Coolest mode in HP coolsense
2. Decrease maximum processor performance to 70%

I played COD and maximum temperature was just 62 degrees

93 is high...
if you dont have laptop cooler, try placing it on books (supporting it from either edge, NOT in the middle). get something like one inch clearance

and check if something is blocking the inlet or exhaust...
there is an HP supposrt assistant installed by default on the syatem.. use it. you cant possibly go wrong :)

Go through the previous pages - if you can, read this page itself. (or my post)

The problem, whatever it was has been sorted out with a BIOS update.

Also, a wise man once said..if you will say plz instead of please as plz is shorter than please...he'll say NO instead of Yes as NO is shorter.

It is solved with a BIOS update. You select the mode as fixed.

After installing the new BIOS patch, where do you get the option to choose manual switching? I can't find it anywhere.

EDIT: Got it in the BIOS.

Choose the fixed mode option.

Earlier it had some performance issues with most of the games due to its new muxless design of switching. But with a BIOS update, everything has been taken care of, and the laptop is now working like a charm. I am very much pleased with the performance now. I have even coaxed a friend into buy a new 6121TX for himself :D
Definitely go for it if you want a gaming machine.
