From answers.yahoo.com because I'm lazy
Alienware m14x (owned for about 3 months)
GeForce 555m card 1.5GB (or 3.0 GB I don't recall which one)
RAM - 6GB
Processor - Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2630QM CPU @ 2.00 GHz
BIOS A05
I called Tech Support (they're not very supportive at all) recently to see if my computer was acting like a twit and I don't really believe in anything they said (maybe I should).
Core #0 - Core #3 (4 cores) heat to around 90 degrees Celcius while gaming (sometimes reaching 98) and I'm playing Killing Floor which is from 2009 and doesn't seem like it demands too much. The GPU temperature is around 70 C while gaming and I feel that it doesn't do a great job because it slows down sometimes in game. TS told me these temperatures are fine for a gaming laptop and I should only worry if it gets over 100C...I'm worried already and I feel like gaming performance should be higher. FRAPS doesn't like to work well with gaming either because there is stuttering and it lags sometimes and I don't really know what to do! I've cleaned the fan a little and didn't find that much dust, reinstalled it a few times way before I called TS.
Someone please tell me where (or what I need to do) to get some help so I can figure out the issue with the computer. I payed around $1500 for this thing and I don't feel like it's delivering the goods. Maybe it's me not understanding the way gaming computers work since this is my first gaming computer.
