Hi
I am very close to buying a zepto 6615 and the only thing stopping me now is that I have read that they overheat...I think generally when playing games...can anyone confirm or deny this? Anyone who has not come across this please post as I think usually only those with bad experiences tend to respond

I have heard about them overheating..... the 6615 I am very interested in so can people please tell me their experiences either way?

I use mine for gaming very often (mainly Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142, sometimes Frets On Fire, BF1942-DC, Trackmania Nations, Far Cry, some others (F.E.A.R. multiplayer, CoD 1, Quake 2, Unreal Tournament 1999).
Not played or tested WoW, Oblivion, Neverwinter Nights 2, NFS-Carbon, Gothic 3, the newes Splinter Cell or Hitman, Rainbow Six: Vegas, Ghost Recon : Advanced Warfighter ...) (please don't hit me if I mentioned some console-only games, I just tried to list some recent games which I didn't play)
I had some sudden poweroffs when playing with the 6615WD in its docking station - but that could have it's reason with the docking station also, because I'm sometimes loosing connection to USB devices.
While gaming without the dockingstation I have the notebook's far side lifted on two domino stones und the left and right rubber feet, it's a habit from my old notebook's time, a Celeron366 MHz with 168MB RAM...
Last weekend we had a LAN-party from friday to sunday and I played without the dockingstation (but with the domino stones) and had no trouble at anytime.
I'm sometimes running a hardware monitoring software named NotebookHardwareControl which gave some warnings that one temperature reached 83° / 84°, but never higher.
I have my 6615WD since Ocotber so it hadn't seen a summer yet...
Gaming itself is smooth most times, but in recent games I don't use "maximum" settings while playing in native resolution where possible. BF 2142 on full large servers is sometimes laggy.
Do you want further or other information? -
so you would recommend? does it get noticeable hotter than other laptops you have had?
-
From what I've read it's the 6214 that people have had problems with. Mine has worked like intended though

As far as overheating is concerned--it doesn't seem to be a universal problem amongst 6615WD owners in this forum. And keep in mind that a gaming system with that kind of power will generate heat.
I'm going to merge this thread with the other one. -
My 6615wd has been working fine without any heat issiues. The only problems i ever had was with a display driver under windows.
Now i run vista ultimate with all its pretty effects. WoW runs a bit slower now with max resolution and details turned on. But no heat crashes.
Ill be gaming all weekend at a small Lan party with the guys, and im counting on my 6615wd to deliver. I still love this laptop, it has replaced my stationary computer as my farvored work/gameing station.
Cheers
Zepto's overheating?
