For those with cooling problems i found a way to control the both fans speed , and i think that auto fan speed never use the full potential of those fans , because i got even 94°C cpu temp and the fans sound aren't nearly close to the nousy sound when i set them to max speed.
You need to download rw everything from here http://rw-everything.software.informer.com/ and launch it , then select the "EC" tab that is circled in screenshot.

Then go to 90x03 that is for right fan near the GPU , it should h;ave value 04 for auto fan speed , you must modify it to 14 for manual fan speed then you can modify the speed in the next column (90x04) with values from 99 to 60 , where 99 value is the lowest speed and the 60 value the highest speed , in the next column (90x05) you will see the actual speed of the fan
For the left fan near the CPU go to 90x06 and do the same thing: 04 for auto fan speed , 14 for manual fan speed ; and in the next column (90x07) set the speed with values from 99 to 40 , where the 40 is the max speed of that fan.
With the fans set to maximum speed , i never exceed 65°C in GPU and 80°C in CPU that is set to run with all four cores to 3.5GHZ from intel XTU.
I think that the cooling system potential on this laptop is more efficient than the one from asus G571 which is giant.
I hope that was useful for those with high temp problems.

For those who having high temperatures while gaming, refer to this:

QUOTE(Amal @ Feb 2 2015, 06:34 PM)
Haswell CPU is quite a hot CPU IMHO.

Try disabling the CPU Turbo boost.
It will help a lot on the temperature.

Go to your Power Options -> Change Plan Settings -> Change Advanced Power Settings -> Scroll and go to Processor Power Management -> Change the Maximum processor state from 100 to 99.

Your CPU will limit itself to 2.5Ghz max.
This usually won't affect the gaming performance by much. Probably 1-5% only.

This work for me (also one of the victim who had high temps)

A big thanks to Amal! rclxms.gif Thank you!

Well, for me then yes it is, but not sure if other Nitro user having heat issues. There's a trick to reduce the heat though and it works for me. Btw, cooling pad isn't help anyway sad.gif

there is an nvidia geforce experience app installed, it will notify you with the latest drivers, one click and it will auto install the latest nvidia drivers. the app is also useful as it can optimise the game settings for you automatically

of couse cooling pad isn't help, if it direct contact with the copper pipe, then that will only help reduce for about 3-5'c.

I forgot to point out cooling pad was actually meant to help the air flow but airflow intake/outake will dependent on the laptop design,

you bought for 3499? didnt know the price increased. if your not sure dont tinker with stuff in afterburner, as long as fps in game is high should be no issue, clock speed is low to maintain low temp and low power draw
