    This has been asked so many times and i don't think there's an airplane to provide that much power per outlet.

    Max i saw was 75W per seat.

    It can handle the load but not for long for it to cut off and recharge. You won't be able to game like for an hour per se with a constant flow of juice from the airplane AC to your laptop.

    Is there any solution to this? Could disabling crossfire help?

    It just can't handle any power load of a performance laptop I am afraid. I tried playing Dragon Age: Origins about a year ago on my Envy 15 (uses a 120W PSU) on the plane with it plugged in and the plane plug just cut out 30 minutes into my game and it didn't give out a charge until like 3 hours later. I am afraid it just won't handle high performance while charged kind of thing.

    man follow a guide on here about re pasting your gpu from a guy called ash....I cant be bothered finding the link but you will find it if you just search m17x cooling mod......the retention clip mod it the best thing you can ever do for our systems.....I used as5 on the gpu die and replaced the thermal pads with some thicker, ceramic paste called noctua nt-h1. Anyway I dropped form around 89'c under load to 69'c.....screw the thermal pads lol
