    Dell have agreed to visit me and replace the systemboard and heatsink due to my temps rising to 100c under bios a12.

    What will they replace? will it include the GPU? or even the CPU?

    Thanks

    I believe the system board includes the GPU, but not the CPU (socketed). If they find problems with your CPU (if there are any - shouldn't be hard to detect), then they would replace that too.
