Can tell me which model you get ? is it MSI GE60 Apache Pro ?
I heard a lot ppl said when it's under full load or intense gaming it is very hot..
You got this problem also ??
My friend's one is so damn hot even with a cooler + turbo fan + IC diamond thermal + setting processing power to Max 90% 

Update on my son's ACER V Nitro:

This afternoon I went into his room and touched the unit and the entire right side was hot, not really really hot but hot. And on the left side, the QWEASDZXC keys were warm. So no big issue for my son - like I mentioned earlier, right hand using mouse. Note: his room air conditioning was turned off and the ceiling fan in operation.

Now, I just enter his room again and he still playing since afternoon. Guess what, the left size of the unit is warm; and the right side, i.e. the qweasdzxc keys where had just a slightly warm, can say normal. Note: his room air conditioning was on.

I really wonder if having the air-con on does really make any difference to the heat or was it all in my mind ........

Anyway, both time when I went and touched the unit, it was silent and I cannot hear any fan noise. Note: My son wear headphones.

Yea bro. Really awesome cause this laptop is thin and light, i dont expect it to be that good. Thumbs up for acer. Previously using their 4830tg. Its a well built also. I played battlefield 3 on my 4830tg before and now played it on my nitro, the difference is night and day man! Can easily max out everything on FHD and still got 50+ above fps. Really love the cooling also as its really quite while gaming. Overall really great job from acer. Im now playing dragon age:inquisition on this beast. 

Wow really that bad bro? Mind share your HWmonitor temperature? Btw, i forgot to mention the v-nitro IPS panel and the speaker is f***en awesome!

Ahhh i see. I barely feel any heat on this nitro, maybe because the heat goes out at the back, palmrest place is really cool, the only place thats little warm is top side of keyboard. Others all cool. im thinking of underclocking my laptop. To make it more cooler. Haha.

Ahhh i see. Wow, never know about it. Good to know that. Ayte bro thanks for the tips! Will test it out tomorrow. Hope it works cause i dont really need the turbo boost anyway. Already got used to core i5. Haha.

tested out as what u stated, but i don't know how to see the difference between on turbo boost or not. haha.  anyway, i played bf3 single player on fhd ultra setting for around 1 & 1/2 hours, (i am bit surprised can get constant 60fps, previously played bf3 on my 4830tg low settings also cant get 60fps ). Finally i can hear my dual fan kicks in! haha! but to my surprise the fan is not as loud as my previous Y500. Im really damn impressed with this laptop, plus im playing it while im laying on my bed, put the laptop on my belly and leg as support (lazy mode, haha!). Previously cant do like this on my Y500 cause its f***en heavy, this nitro is really lightweight.

im thinking to upgrade my hdd to ssd, should i migrate window 8.1 to the new ssd or install back window 7.

The screen is abit dim. Anyway to increase it? Setting or driver?

I asked my son couple days back if his Acer V Nitro gets hot? He said no.

Then I asked him why when I touched the unit on the third day the right side of the keyboard was hot? He then only told that was because he was playing two games at the same time on that day! How he plays two games at the same time beats me!

Anyway, for those of you who are into leaisure reading and got time to waste, click here to read my article Spending My Children Inheritance, where I wrote about getting my son a gaming notebook, how I ended getting him the Acer V Nitro and touched on the price, where I bought it and why he did not get the ASUS G751. Also posted his Acer V Nitro with his Razer Mamba mouse.

Yes well, unfortunately the Nitro I got developed some problems with the graphics.

Flickering screen with pink flashes, even when nothing is on. Something seriously wrong with the graphics there.

Tried doing that from the early hours this morning when I noticed the problem.

Come to think of it, the unit did give me some signal that something is wrong, when I got it from my friend. When I was customising the software, there was this annoying flicker, but I chalked it off, as you say to the need of installing new drivers.

The the pink flashes came out, and I managed to video the whole thing. Nice to have the Acer guy speechless when I pointed the problem out.

The not so nice part - Need to wait until 2nd or 3rd to get a replacement unit. 

Sending it back to Acer under DOA rules. Did press them about a replacement model, but was told, really really there is no stock, at least until next week 2nd or 3rd January. Not going to wait that long, things do change fast these days. Plus got a lot of Asus laptops to move.

Funny thing is, a lot of parents are shopping, at it is fun to see how their sons more or less is trying to get their parents to buy the gaming laptops (serious la pak, this one I need for auto cad, right mr salesman)...

How is your GE60? The MSI guys are asking us to stock more, a friend of mine here also does, since the market here in Seremban is growing.

At least we know what to expect from the Acer guys.

I do suspect that they have stock, yet are loath to lose a stock due to a DOA claim.

Forgot to add, most parents see the red backlit, big flag there that their kid want to game instead of studying on the thing.

but pity the parents streching the budget by another 1.5k. 
Still its partial your fault showing off that feature spoiling that kid.
