    Hi all,

    I'm seriously considering getting one of the new Clevo models (P170SM or P177SM), probably with a 780M. My only concern is the notoriously high level of noise of those notebooks. I once heard that future software updates by Clevo should adjust the currently aggressive fan controlling and thus lead to a more silent device. I'd like to ask the owners of the above models about their experience with this: Have you seen and used Clevo updates that have improved the noise situation of your notebook? Is it something I could rely on when buying a new Clevo?

    Thank you very much!
