What is working well.
Keyboard. No issues with my keyboard. No flex no missing lights and no delay.
Alien FX works fine.
Touch Keys work fine when not coming from Standby.
DVD Drive is fine. Burns and reads at correct speeds.

Well I have played a few hours of gaming and my temps were 75-86. 86 was the max temp. This is without any coolers but being careful with my laptop positioning. While my knee fry’s, it is much cooler than it being on a table and I would assume on a table my temps could possibly be higher.Of course, you can rebuke that with the whole ‘it’s a laptop’ argument, but this is clearly a gaming laptop. Not that concept makes a whole lot of sense to some.
