It gets hot. Two suggestions: First - using the gigabyte control panel, make sure computer management is set to gaming\high performance so the fans are doing their job. Second - get a cooling stand that circulates air under the laptop and helps cool it. They are inexpensive and will help extend the life of your investment. When you aren't playing games, shut them down. When active, they prevent the PC from going to sleep and thus cooling down.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Well, I had bought this laptop from 2 years ago and honestly, u don't have to set it to Performance mode on Gigabyte Control Center, I would recommend by set it to Entertainment mode so ur laptop can run depend on how much u do on laptop, for ex: u just surf web or watching youtube the laptop always run at low frequency and TDP, and when u gaming or render, ur laptop will automically push cpu frequency higher but still remain for enough performance to proccess everything. I also suggest that u should change power plan on windows to Balance, it will do the same as GCC give you a good performance but still keep ur laptop cool or atleast not too hot.
