    So after a few weeks waiting, it's finally here. I installed a couple of my favorite games and tested the temp for a few hours,anyway this is the result after playing dragon age for 2 hours, I noticed that the GPU shader temp is always quite a bit higher than the other GPU readings, does that seem normal? Ambient temp is quite hot today and is about 30 C.

    What's the GPU temp under compal EC? what does that mean? I came from Nvidia GPU and it only comes with GPU core reading, these too many GPU readings kinda confuse me. Anyone can explain to me which one matters the most or which one should I pay attention to? Thank you!!
