Mine is 860m

i7 4720HQ
8GB ram
intel hd4600 / gtx 860m 2gb

Yea i find it quite high for my taste though. I prefer it to be around 65-75*c most of the times while i'm gaming.
That 85*c is for GPU or CPU ?
Not quite sure if it's disrupting the air flow as the exhaust is at the rear and below it should be the intake. I'll post again when i change my cooling pad ( not quite sure when    )

Today tested the CPU, usage 100% Clocked over 3300mhz. Temperature around 85degree

Amazingly, the right side is not hot to touch when Cpu is on heavy load, because the fan will run.
Normally idle, Cpu temp is at 50degree and you can feel the heat on the right.

After the heavy load is finish it immediately went back 50

Nope, not playing games only some programs running. It's at the right side. Not really"hot", but warm, or above human temperature. Nvidia not used.

Just got mine today. But got problem. Fps in game quite good but suddenly will drop and stutter for few seconds. Happens very often. Like every 30 seconds fps will drop and lag. then go back to normal? Why is this?
-No overheat
-Latest drivers
-Using nvidia gpu not intel

Guys...My laptop currently is on a 8GB ram, wanted to upgrade to a 16GB (8GB x 2) and replace the old 8GB . Any advise on whether I should upgrade or not? If yes, any recommendation which brand and spec?

Thanks

Thanks for the reply.

I'm looking into those bundle 8gbx2 dual channel ram. As for the usage, was just planning to max it out now since I got the extra money. I'm also looking into getting msata ssd use for operating system and d existing 1TB for data storage.

I will have a look into my laptop using CPUID you suggest.

What does Intel Turbo Boost do actually? lol

3 years warranty or 1 year? Kinda confuse

no turbo-boost is not overclock 
it is mainly using the dormant cores (for example in a quad core, 2 cores are inactive) to boost the speed for the active cores.

ps: this is why base speed is really important and why I said having a quadcore doesnt really matter as much as sellers claim

Guys, why i play d2 after a few minute i keep getting constantly lag and my temperature go around 90C

I already disable intel turbo boost but why like this?

Im not so sure either , i will test it out then if still the same i will send it back to warranty by tomorrow.

Oh ya , regarding z5 , my friend wanna purchase z5 but inside the illegear website there is no payment for using credit card? Anyway on how to do payment through illegear website?

Lol, if you want to then download it then go to manual tuning, look for dynamic CPU Voltage offset and set it stage by stage (I go -25mV then stress test it for stability for 20-30 minutes after stress test is successful i further reduce it by another -25mV then rinse and repeat.)

Do note. When stress test (without gaming), you can undervolt more compared to gaming. So set profiles for normal usage and gaming.

Though the bad thing about undervolt is BSOD. There might be hidden risk so do it at your own risk.

I just went to Acer Service center this morning to ask regarding on switching to IC Diamond TP. They say they have to refer to KL whether can change or not, unless using their own thermal paste yes.

software to do undervolt stuff? 

i tot wanna take risk and buy this notebook since my notebook burn after i do 3D rendering..    damn phenom burn my mobo till smelly   

after see review here. i feel scared    better i go for other notebook. too bad, no Dell in kuching. else i will buy dell

You can try Lenovo but then the screen is just, no. Asus has a similar laptop but theirs is single fan. Not a bad design choice because Asus has good thermals but a bit on the riskier side. I personally didn't go for Asus because of my friend's experience with the customer service. For Dell, you only have the Alienware sporting this graphic card. That i5 U processor might be a bottle neck to the GTX860M though and even when you buy that added box for desktop graphic cards, the processor is a surefire bottleneck for those as well. Their 'home' laptop I think uses  GTX850M but you get touch screen for the same price as GTX 860M 4GB variants of all the Lenovo, Acer and Asus laptops. I would suggest the Illegear Z5 but you live in Kuching. If there's a problem you have to go back to KL. But this is, in my opinion, the best laptop for GTX860M. You can customize to your heart's content and budget and as an added bonus, there's a keyboard shortcut for maximum fan speed if you're THAT worried. If it weren't for warranty and it's overall super flashy design, I would have gone for the Illegear myself.

The laptop is fine actually. Maybe the Cities: Skylines game is a bit too demanding. Sims 4, Heroes of Newerth, Sims 3, Microsoft Flight Simulator, SimCity and everything else runs perfectly fine (no throttling). When I limit my frame rate for Cities: Skylines it takes much much longer to throttle but throttling is still there

The one i have is 4720HQ with GTX860M rather than 960.

If gaming 80+/90 consider safe?

ya.. i had make my dsktp portable   
there is illegear shop in kuching. quite surprise. but not sure where is the location. saw few local seller sell it here though. i do often fly to kl.. but, once more.. not for vacation. had few meetings need attend and fly back 

i'm think just build desktop right away. for few months.. then resale again 

use these 2 months, sell following months    wonder who will buy it. i'm not into much games though since busy and cant play every games.    i want but then i have no time for my work  after immerse wif da game.. me gg liao.. work abandon .. gonna look for mid-end like dell 7447.. might consider acer nitro but heat issue will be a big matter to me

I see. Well I played Cities:Skylines just now and surprisingly I found a good playable graphics setting. The game didn't throttle once. It usually throttles when I set it to speed 3 for a long time but the temperature hovered around 76-77 degrees and was at it's hottest at 82 degrees.

Shadows: Low, Shadow Distance: Very Short, Texture: Medium, Details: Medium, AA: On, Anisotropic Filtering: On.

Since my laptop wont cut off charging should i go service centre to ask them? It may affect the battery life if plugged in charging and playing
