Yea that's why I feel amaze lo. Cause what I know of is need to access BIOS features to tweak the settings. Well last time MSI Afterburner do have features to undervolt or overvolt your GPU. I think now still got.
I think they just get lemon unit. Other Acer user seems very quiet didn't complaint much. It is still the cheapest tho. haha
3D rendering require good CPU tho, if you're doing intense work, better get desktop or other CPU. I believe 4710HQ or 4720HQ can't handle intense 3D rendering well.
ya.. i had make my dsktp portable

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

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
