I haven't faced throttling since the bios update, but the temps were reaching 94c after 2-3hrs of gaming (bf3, max payne 3 etc), so I reduced the cpu max to 70% while gaming. now the temps don't go above 86-87 in any game. also the battery wear level is still 0% (I remove battery while gaming,though) and there haven't been any other issues. I've finished crysis 2, gta iv, bf3, max payne3 and there have been no problems. No random BSOD's or freezes.
about the customer care, I personally had very good experience with them, if you read my earlier posts you'll know that I got a full refund for the i5 version from the cc in my area. but some users like pratyush got the mobo replaced, even though he wanted a refund, so I think cc really depends on the area .

Back again after a VERY long time. Disappointed about the performance of this lappy when it runs FIFA 13. The highest I can go without compromising the smoothness of the gameplay while playing is:

Res : 1280*720 (???? with 8GB RAM???)
Quality : Medium
MSAA : Off (??? WTF???? and this is a 650M???)
FPS : No limit
this is just plain disgusting after updating with the new graphics driver.
