    Hi,
    is it normal that from A00 to A02 bios the cpu temperatures at full load are increased of about 8-10 ° C?

    Are you going to release an A03 bios soon?

    Thanks for the feedback. We'll share it with the engineers! We have no info about new BIOS releases yet.

    Also Is it normal that CPU temp in idle reaches 55-60 celsius degrees?

    The fans typically turn off when idle, so yes, I'd say those temps are normal.

    Should I be worried, when playing games such as SimCity my Temps skyrocket.. and core clocks throttles from 3400MHz to 800MHz..

    97C? I'd be mildly concerned at this point if this were my laptop and it was new-ish.
