I got my Dv6-7014nr as a replacement/upgrade from HP because my original gaming PC went haywire and they could not fix it. One should be able to consider my excitement upon being given a link to a notebook that is a vast upgrade to my original notebook. With a dual quad core, dual graphics, 8GB RAM, Bluetooth, Bluray drive, and HD graphics capability(all that my original did not have) I was certain this was the computer of my dreams. And it has been... for the most part. Though now consider my disappointment when I find that I can run any game I so choose... as long as my left hand can stand scalding hot temperatures on the keyboard. The left side is where the fan is, and also I am assuming that is where the graphics card is located. I haven't sent this computer back to HP to be looked at, and my warranty is ending in a month. The reason I haven't sent it in, is because HP uses refurbished parts for replacement parts. That may not sound bad, but it is. My original dv6 notebook was screen tearing, so I sent it in. Three times. They went everywhere from replacing the motherboard, CPU, heatsinks, and accused me of allowing my computer to overheat, which it never did because it was always cool to touch, and had a cooling fan underneath, as does my 7014nr. Eventually my computer wasn't even able to boot up properly because they had just replaced so many parts that weren't the issue. I'm afraid for my current dv6 if I send it in. It heats up to about 150-170 Fahrenheit if I do anything taxing... like playing games which the computer was built to do. My question is; Is this a problem that is only occurring for me, or does everyone have this problem? I'm currently looking into a Lenovo desktop to switch my gaming to since I can't trust HP. :\
Dv6-7014nr gets to scalding temperatures within minutes of loading a game.
