P370EM and P270WM owners help needed.

Alright, can anyone help me with this?

I've been in the ballpark for a new machine for a while, still looking, but all I see are problems between the two biggest notebooks out there.

The first problem I saw was with the P370EM and the second GPU heating up in excess of 20*C HIGHER than the primary. I've heard people claim that their GPUs have died within a few months because of this. Due to this, I opted to stay away from that laptop line, only to be greeted by the problems from the other design.

The second problem I saw was with the P270WM (X570SE from Malibal) and its apparent inability to properly cool the CPU, despite the design being no different from the last models. Again, only going on what I've heard but I can't seem to shake the idea that the CPU will be running at 90*C under load.

Please inform me that this stuff is wrong. I would much rather go with a Clevo the next time around rather than another Alienware. The laptop I want needs to have dual GPU capability and be good enough that there aren't many issues with it.

 

Maybe just throw in the towel and get an insane desktop?

In all seriousness, you're stuck until someone actually gets their hands on the P570WM and thoroughly tests its cooling capability. Personally, I have faith in the P570, though I am looking forward to seeing it actually perform.

 

I would, but I'm a little strapped for space and I do a weekly LAN party at a friend's house... so... yeah... >.>

 

I've only seen one or two scenarios (one that I can recall for certain) here on NBR where a user had the issue with the second GPU overheating (I see you've seen this thread as well: http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/705683-p370em-np9370-overheating-problems-7970m-crossfire.html). We haven't had any RMA units here for overheating problems, though. You may want to ask aroun in the ask the resellers thread, as well as the owner's lounge.
