    I'm interested in buying the same system from Obsidian. Could you tell me what you think of the display? Also, could you post some temperature readings during full load?

    Let me test it tomorrow and I'll tell you what temperatures I got in GTAV, Witcher III and Hellblade.
    I'm very pleased with the display so far.

    @a.Techie:

    I've tested some games.
    Have in mind that my room it's fairly 'hot', ambient temperature 27-28ºC.
    There are two valid modes for playing, entertainment and performance.
    Entertainment gives max 4.4Ghz, while performance can go over 4.5Ghz.

    GTAV:

    * entertainment mode: 75+ fps, temp AVG < 80ºC, 80ºC MAX. GPU 70ºC MAX.
    * turbo mode: 75+ fps, temp AVG 81ºC, 85ºC max,. GPU 70ºC AVG.

    BF1:

    * entertainment mode: 75+ fps, temp AVG 80ºC, 85ºC MAX. GPU 70ºC MAX
    * turbo mode: 75+ fps, temp AVG 80ºC, 85ºC MAX. GPU 70ºC MAX

    In this game, both modes got same temps (???)


    Witcher III:

    * entertainment mode: 75+ fps, temp AVG 75ºC, 78ºC MAX. GPU 72ºC MAX.
    * turbo mode: 75+ fps, temp AVG 82ºC, 85ºC max, GPU 72ºC.


    So basically, 'performance' mode should be more powerful (indeed it is, since gives more voltage to the cpu) but games already reach easily 75fps+ in entertainment mode, who is cooler since voltage is lower.

    Thank you Obsidian, this laptop its a monster. @John@OBSIDIAN-PC

    One of the advantages of all our testing being done in the most extreme scenarios (100% CPU and GPU) makes it that most games will be very good temperature wise, even with those overclocks ;)
    Have fun with it ;)

    Got some undervolt issues. Obsidian guys (Ricardo and João) kindly helped me until we found a better UV configuration.

    Nice customer care, I'm very happy with them.
