    Hi,

    After asking for your recommendations, I just bought na Asus N550jv-DB72t. It looks like reaaly nice, but I have a few problems:

    (1) Using the laptop just for internet makes the temperature oscillate between 80-95 degrees (according to Real Temp GT software). Is this normal?

    (2) I tried to play LOL, but it is really hard even with low configuration, because the fps oscillates a lot (between 10-30 fps). Why that is happening May it be caussed by the high temperature?

    Thanks in advance.

    2 - it sounds like your dedicated video card isn't activating while playing LoL, make sure you have things set to "high performance" or similar where necessary.

    You may have better luck if you ask in the N550's owners thread, but congrats on your new laptop!

    Thanks.
    I posted there. I was in doubt if it was better to post there or here and I didn't find any recommendation about this. ^^

    80 - 95 Celsius? That is way too hot just for web browsing. The temperature could be what's causing LoL to behave that way as well.
