    I got mine today and it's basically incredibly hot all over even just sitting here listening to music, installing a game, and typing this post. It's designed to be hot obviously and will take care of itself but it certainly gets very very hot.

    When playing Crysis or Assassins Creed, the top left hand corner will get really hot to the touch, the rest is hot but not unusable.
