How hot does this PC get when you play intensive games. I usually have to play around 70C. Is this way to high to constantly be playing at?

Yes it gets hot when playing, my room is usually warm and that doesnt help i am playing skyrim at 67C-72C, the other thing is that i play with the laptop on my lap, maybe using it at a desk may help, and im planning on buying something to get my room a little bit cooler in the days hehe

I do some instructional screencasts and am occasionally a binge gamer... I've been consistently amazed by the temperature control on my laptop. After a few hours of a very graphics-heavy game it'll get hot, but I don't notice a performance hit and it cools off very quickly when I close the game.

I run world of warcraft, battlefield 4, and many other high end games at max settings. it will get hot doing it but turn on the fan boost and your golden.

It worked great for me. And I'm not overclocking. Under heavy load mine goes to 54c.

With max fans and liquid cool, I tell you with out putting exhaust fan and liquid cool CPU. It does not get very hot. CPU is around 40c that is when I am gaming and graphic card around 45c. Because it get fresh cooler from the outside. Not the air the case which is little hotter. Over all I love the case the fans that came with are very quiet.

I didn't have any high temps, but I only ran it stock long enough to verify it works. I basically always replace stock sink and TIM. If you're intending on using this for pretty demanding stuff (gaming, photo/video editing, 3D modeling and render, etc.) I'd recommend replacing TIM and sink.

Hey bro im going to tell my sincere experience... I bought that laptop like 1 momth ago, is got a lot of style and is very slim but i start downloading games like BF 4, Skyrim and watch dogs and in my experience the computer overheated cuz is too slim. I played liked 1 hour and the computer went to desktop or tell that it have an error and when i checked the tempetures was like 150 F so i returned the laptop and bought the Asus G750 js and in 1 word is a Beast! Is heavy but man im 6'2 so i dont care carrying a bit of weight thats it! Hope it help!

You're definitely right! I think the chip outputs too much heat. What I did is undervolted the cpu from the BIOS and also disabled the AMD Turbo Technology, and now it's so much cooler and quieter. Temp on idle around 30-35 load 50-55. Lowest degree was 25. That's insane with the stock fan!

I am currently using the stock fan. At stock speeds my computer stays pretty cool, 15-20 C. When playing online games however, they go up to 40-45 which I guess isn't too bad. With higher settings on games/programs the fan then turns into something like a Bulldozer running over C4, extremely loud but does a pretty "Ok" job at keeping the CPU cool if it isn't put under anything over regular use stress. I would highly recommend getting a better fan if you have the money, but if not, you should be fine until you manage to get your hands on one.

it's a beast of a computer. easily runs the newest games without a hitch. build quality is really really good. the only problems are that if you do play the latests with high/ultra gra[hic quiality... it gets hot. very hot. and the fan tends to get noisy. personally, would buy it again.

Ive got the asus model and all the fans I can fit in the case and in game temps on graphically intense games (say tomb raider or aliens isolation) are usually around 45-50 C

also mine idles at about 20 degrees I have set the fan to run at a very slow speed and I am a gamer. this is the best CPU fan / heatsink I have ever used the packaging and instructions were thought out and put together very well for any compatibility questions for your motherboard go to their website they have a page just for that

Well, I have four fans cooling my system and when gaming I let them spin pretty fast. Don't really care about excessive sound because I'm wearing a headset most of the time. With stock fan/heat sink mine is very cool while idle, and have never seen it above 60C while playing some of the most demanding games. Yes the fan and heat sink could be better but for me it's fine.

[LOL!] LoL runs wonderfully! I play all the time. Main jg/fidds and sup/thresh. Hit me up after you buy this bad boy and we'll play a round! I haven't changed any of the default graphics settings, and I'm running with no visible lag. As with all Alienware laptops, expect it to get warm while you play though - you might want to pick up a cheap cooling pad. I got one for ~$15 and it dropped my CPU/GPU temps about 25F each.

I've used it for over a year and never had an over-heating issue. The computer gets warm when gaming or video editing, with or without the case on. I've never compared the actual temperature difference, but it seems to be insignificant.

I game with it and it does get hot, not hot enough to shut down as some speculate but enough to lag your game. This problem is easily solved with an external cooling solution.

I wasn't, but my friend was and he said at idle the temps were anywhere between 35 and 40 C. At full load the temps were about 60 C. I would highly suggest getting a H100i, my temps at idle are about 15 C and 31 C full load.
