Hwmonitor for temp but no fan speed.
Now I try Battlefield 4 and NFS Rivals both max out the settings.

I didn't turn my fan speed to max, i believe it make a big different if fan speed goes to max speed.
surrounding temperature in one of the important factor too.

Arvin, please help to pin the BIOS and drivers download links:

Windows 10 BIOS for Z5 GTX960M & 970M

http://www.illegear.com/downloads/bios/z5win10.zip

(*Warning Z5 GTX860M isn't compatible with this BIOS, if you are already using BIOS version 193 then you are able to update to Windows 10 without any flashing needed*)

Steps (DOS method):

1. Make a bootable USB pendrive with Rufus, choose MS-DOS.
2. Transfer the ME, BIOS and LOGO files to the USB pendrive part by part after finishing each step.
3. Make sure the AC adapter is connected. Press F2 to enter into BIOS control panel upon boot up, set the pendrive as the highest boot priority.
4. Flash ME->DOS folder first, type "pre1487.bat", computer will restart by itself. Type "1487.bat", computer will restart by itself.
5. Flash BIOS->DOS folder, type "bios.bat", computer will restart by itself, after restart the computer will start flashing  BIOS *warning do not remove the USB pendrive and power source during flashing*.
6. Flash Logo, type "logo.bat", after flashing computer will restart by itself.
7. Enter F2 BIOS again, click "load default settings", done.
Windows 10 drivers (compatible to GTX860M, 960M and 970M versions)

Thanks prince . if I don't wanna take the risk of flashing BIOS, can bring it over to your showroom right?
