    Those numbers seemed fine. Have you ran any burn in software to see what the max is like under load?

    Not yet, is it necessary to do so? I've been using Unreal Engine, it was the main reason to buy it since they stopped supporting dx10 on the editor. I'm using a custom power plan and tweaking the TDP level to12W so its at 0.8GHZ and limiting the power to level 1 since Unreal is such a resource hog. I'm also applying some tweaks to the engine so the cpu doesn't go past the 0.8GHZ. It's a little slower to compile shaders for instance but it gives me room to do other stuff in the meantime and it keeps the temps pretty much constant like on idle! I'm happy so far with the laptop it seems the previous owner took good care of it.

    It's fine to do so, basically since we know of your typical temperature at normal usage but we should also see how the temp looks like under full load without stability issue. The machine is built to withstand anything you throw at it. :)
