RTS game are more CPU dependent. So sometime will slightly hot, compare to FPS game.
Replace thermal paste will helps a lot as well

Well, the laptop gets really hot when I play games. I now prop the end with a book in the middle, bout 1 inch or so in height.  That takes care of the problem! Vents are clear, and the air dissipates immediately.

Use cooler won't hell the "hot" u mention. Changing it to SSD u will feel the different. Save the money for better future. Cooler is just a fan to enhance the airflow, not to cool down the system(Aircon do cool down system)

U are clever using the book to lift the laptop up^_^…

The place where u feel hot is the place where the HDD located. And if u mention CPU and GPU temperature, it can't help much as small chassis with high spec, surely will go hot. Same goes to my M18x such a big ventilation still the processor runs on 80'c++ sometime even go to 90'c, GPU is OK cause GPU not the hottest hardware in the system.

But It's only minecraft.... Btw my M15x cannot support 1080p crysis 3 lol T_T only 720p.... 1080p fps below 20

Well, what graphic card u using? Probably u can lower down some the setting, and increase the resolution. Personal preference, I prefer high resolution rather than high setting.FPS>resolution>setting

Tried Dota 2... Temperature around 65~75, 30~40 fps

guys I want suggestion on warranty extension for my M17xR4. Do you think it's good to get ur warranty renewed? seeing that it doesnt cost cheap to do so. Wht are the chances of something spoiling by itself inside my laptop, seeing that complete care won't be renewed, only NBD will be.
*
well, if u have extra, then just extend. but failure rate is rather low.

if wanna extend do PM me, i can help u get cheaper price

i choose the m17x r4 third configuration the one with the 3d display

but i opt out the 3d for a normal one

cant remember everything

highest processor i7-3840QM Processor
680m gpu
8gb ram (upgrade next time)
raid 0 1Tb X 2 HDD
no bluray (can upgrade next time)

i believe this machine can last me for quite some time,so next time when needed can upgrade the ROM and RAM

got a nice 10% discount - about 1k liao and a free orion backpack
*
should take the 3d model. as 120hz model will impress u

no la...one thing i intend to use external monitor....

so no need 3d or 120hz
*
well, maybe u think is useless to have 120hz, but once u use it u will never come out from there. i would suggest to get those high resolution monitor as it doesnt really fit by those games.
