    Hi all,

    Just got my fully functioning refurb (after sending back the DOA one) and been playing some css maxed out... This laptop is awesome, best $ I've spent, my insight into the temp issue - played dust1 with around 10 other players and temps reached 87c, played dust2 with around 30 players and temps did not go beyond 71c, only real diff between the two maps is HDR, I reckon disabling HDR should reduce temps in other games but I'm not too sure on this so if others could give it a shot in some other games such as cod4, crysis etc, who knows... maybe you can then clock the gpu a bit higher and run it on maxxed settings, HDR sucks anyway (burns my eyes :p). Anyways just my 2c.

    Thanks.
