    I have a FireCuda drive in my P770ZM-G that is overheating. It hits the 60 degree mark and shuts down the system. Can you suggest anything I can do to cool this drive down? Right now, I am only using a notebook cooler and hitting FN-1 to turn on the fans as soon as I launch any games.

    Is the drive touching any metal directly when you close it back up? Is not, you may want to try another drive for testing purposes. Hopefully you have access to one or can borrow one from a friend. But just see what happens with another drive. If everything goes well with another drive, then perhaps your FireCuda is a dud.
    If the other drive also gets too hot, then perhaps it's because the internal design of your Clevo is not very optimal.
    EDIT: I use FireCudas in all my systems, so it's not typical of them to run that hot.
