    I think this been my 4 or 5 issue with this laptop.

    Started with keyboard lighting then Acpi sleep mode Issue.

    I Notice the game lotro and crysis shutting down over time on standard settings. When I ran gpuz and notice the temp was 108c while playing the game. So did some Fumark test and was hitting 100c I turn it off. I called Alienware and was sent two heatsink fans. The game seem to run 89 and slowly go up to 95c. I was farming on Lotro and it hit 97c crysis it hit 95. So I called last week and it been sent back for repairs.


    One question on this. Due to the fact this laptop has one vent on top which helps the Main GPU temp. But the Secondary GPU has the keyboard and part of the laptop covering the fan on the gpu. Could this be the problem why it overheating? I have a laptop cooler but airflow comes from the top.
