I´m not sure about the particular update, but mine works great with reasonable heating for the different tasks.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.It is normal for laptop, with the same hardware configuration and regardless of the manufacturer, to generate more heat than normal while under heavy load especially during gaming, WINDOWS Update and antivirus scan. When system resource utilization is high, this will generate more heat than normal and tends to trigger the fan to spin at full throttle. Please ensure the air ventilations are free from obstructions in order to have an efficient air flow for better heat dissipation. While running resource-intensive applications, please ensure no resource hungry applications, processes or services are running in the background since this will definitely spike the temperature. The heat or temperature does decreases or normalizes once system resource utilization goes down. We release BIOS update for our products if a reported issue was determined to be legit, not a random problem, by the ASUS Quality Control Department.
