    Why would you back to A09? When playing, you can set the fan manually at max with A10

    I went back out of necessity when I was having shut down problems. Long story short I used some crap thermal paste and was hitting thermal limits and getting shut downs but I wasn't aware of it at the time so part of the trouble shooting process for me was rolling that back since I didn't know exactly what the problem was and it seemed to start shortly after A10.

    Go back to A10 and use the fans manually at max with hwinfo when playing or stress machine. When you play it and just let the fans go full force. Then the machine live a longer life. :D
