I wonder where is rider now when he was flaming me and accusing me of trolling few weeks ago when i warned all the future buyers of exactly this problem just when this thread started.

Its a shame that Samsung have managed to screw up the cooling after creating such a stellar laptop in this price range. I don't think people would have minded couple of thousand bucks for a better cooling.

We don't know anything substantial yet. There are people using it who aren't facing any issues whatsoever too.

You can't expect to play a game like Max Payne 3 (which is currently the most intense PC game IMO) on 900p and high/ultra settings at a great frame rate, on a non-gaming laptop, without a cooling pad, and not experience overheating. The new dv-6 and the RMBP, as well as the entire ASUS gaming range, and the XPS range from Dell, all have had much worse overheating issues.

I still haven't had a single throttling issue in over 10-12 hours of gameplay.

For a 15.6 inchers, I suggest to not go with the U3 as it is much bigger and supports 17~19 Inchers. You can go for U2 which is sufficient for 15 Inchers.
The actual price from any good dealer for U3 is 1750+4%VAT, you can see on local shops. U2 will come as 1500~1550+4% VAT.

Cooler Master U series is a good enough cooling pad but no height adjustment (which I think is not necessary), the fans are also good and silent with speed control (3 in U3 and 2 in U2), if you want I can post the U3 detailed images tonight bcauz I owe one...
Please post Some piczzz soon!!!

Temperatures touching 90s will not be the problem as when used with a cooling pad they will be much lesser . Dont worry until your throttles . If its working fine with temps in 80s then just relax and buy a pad and chill . Warranty is for 2 years and if heating is there even after a cooler then claim it .

Isn't it true that IVY Bridges are supposed to generate more heat compared to Sandy Bridges , since they are having smaller die size.
I heard that boosting the clock speed is more difficult in Ivy bridge due to temperature issues.
