The new BIOS update has further lowered temps.
Batman arkham at ultra only 81 degrees

Lucky to have no throttling

@pratyush: your case was totally different. If service center guys don't know about temps and all I wonder how they got job and are working there.@demolisher: new laptop don't seem to throttle-what do you mean here?

well I tried max payne for 1hr 30mins temps were cpu 95c gpu 87c, fps was 42-55, no throttling, even though the temps were not critical I wanted to lower it, so I set cpu max 95% and underclocked gpu by 100mhz to make it 850mhz from 950mhz. played max payne for 1hr 30min, max cpu 87c gpu 82c fps was 42-55, no throttling........

@demolisher: I think only few have problem. But everyone with different one. But as you dead pixel you should go for replacement.
And dan4u found a setting to game safely. Thank you I too will when I'll get any recent game. You know I didn't face any throttling in GRID and DMC4. The problem is only in latest games. Damn.

yes, tell the cc you want a replacement laptop. they might say they'll replace the Screen, tell them you want a replacement laptop. I got a full refund for the i5 version and then got the i7 version. I think there's a 21 day replacement/refund policy....btw when did these line's turn up?? was there any surge or high voltage in your house??

How do I re-install graphics drivers ?

The line just came up 30 mins ago .. i've been using it for about an hour before that... (didnt notice any thing at first), before that I was in the morning without any issues.

There was no surge .. i've been using it on battery since I turned it on ..

 

[TheSloth]

@dan4u: how you know there is only 21 days replacement/refund policy?

What the heck! Now what about my battery. They can't repair it. Or can they? Whole day I waited for their call but nobody called.

 

[dexbg]

Guys,. @pratyush997 .. @dan4u

How long does it take to get the laptop replaced ? Is it immediate ?

Any pointers

 

[ShyamS]

Seems like people are having lot of issues with this model. But I'm not a gamer but I would be using Visual Studio 2012, Office 365, Photoshop and few other heavy apps that's why I need that configuration. What is the battery life for non-gamers? The overheat happens only when games? Does it happen for general computing?

 

[dexbg]

General computing is pretty cool .. no issues there.

Even I got it for non-gaming purposes and quite satisfied.. EXCEPT THE LCD SCREEN !!!!!!

 

[sunny5]

guys...can someone clearly state the optimum/normal gaming temps of core and gpu...pls

I got refund in 12 days, I think replacement will take 7-8 days max, that's what the cc told me.....

guys...can someone clearly state the optimum/normal gaming temps of core and gpu...pls

It depends on the game also, new gen games can get the cpu to reach 90-97c and gpu 86-88c, also that can increase or decrease depending on your room temperature.....
