    So I just got an X2A and when I launch a game the fan suddenly kicks in kicking hot air out, is this normal?

    Well, I think that's normal for G51 units... It varies from game to game though. e.g. in Quake 3, my G50VT-X8's is barely audible...

    It depends on the game you are running, some games require more out of the CPU and GPU, please provide the title, system temperature ( using a temp monitor of your choice, please indicate what you used. ), bios version.

    Thank you.

    If you have PM access. Please PM me your serial number and your contact info. I will create a case on our internal system for reference. Do provide a link to this thread so I know the issue I'm creating the case for.
