Overheating issues? So my question for anyone who has purchased and used this is, have you experienced overheating issues?

I'm about to put a review up, but I've had it for 3 weeks and it does get VERY hot. Much hotter than a 17" I had and hotter than a 15.4" I had. I mean like I didn't know it was safe for it to run this hot, and this is straight out of the box. However, I game for significant periods of time and I haven't had an overheat. Someone in newegg said this thing gets to 64 degrees C with a cooler, and that is accurate. If you buy this for gaming, I would reccomend a cooler (that shoots air to the front of the computer, since that's where the vents are) and u shud be fine. It comes with a free 2 yr accidental dmg warranty (if you register it w/ asus by mailing them a small slip that comes w/ the computer), so send it back if it does overheat.

I've had mine since the middle of August and I have not noticed any abnormal problem with heat. Maybe an isolated incident.

I don't know if you have purchased already but my overheated so much I don't use it. I called to have it replaced which they did and still generates so muchheat I don't use this one either. I have a cover that comes down to cover my burners in the stove and that is the only place I can use it with confidence that it will not burn anything around it. Be careful. jfkflyguy-Dan

Yep, mine has been overheating also. I thought it was the keyboard cover that came with it, but after throwing that away, my computer has still been seizing up so I just took the cover off today and hope I'll have no more problems.

Gee I have not used this very much, and I am not having any issues with it yet. Not sure why yours may have done that. Was it exposed to extreme heat?

I do some instructional screencasts and am occasionally a binge gamer... I've been consistently amazed by the temperature control on my laptop. After a few hours of a very graphics-heavy game it'll get hot, but I don't notice a performance hit and it cools off very quickly when I close the game.

Thanks for your response. I wanted to be sure that others were not having heat problems with this MAC before I placed an order. I am using the new MacBook and it works great no heat problems there. Robert

I haven't had any issues with overheating. The PS4 actually still breathes quite well.

Am I to understand that the computer overheats with the lid closed? Or will it overheat with the lid open eventually? I'm new to laptops and X3 looks promising for what I want in a laptop. However I'm worried about the reviews talking about heating issues.

That sucks that your cooling pad is having issues, too. To be honest, I don't know where you can fix it with the warranty. I still place my laptop on top of the pad to give it a little better circulation, but I'm planning on buying a different pad in the future. I'm sorry I couldn't be any better help.

I didn't have that problem with mine. it was in perfect condition. Did you buy yours new or used?

We have had no problems with it overheating even when we use it a lot. I think the directions say not to use for more than 45 minutes at time and we probably stick to that pretty well.

Have not had an overheating issue. Can turn on turbo fan if you do. I use mine for automotive test equipment so it sits on cooler metal cart tops or travels with me and is used on auto floors, dashes, seats, and fenders. Probably the time in service is much shorter than gaming is for you.

Hello, I have never had a problem with it over heating but I am also not constantly online. If you are constantly online then I am assuming it might become there are no holes for ventilation. Hope that helps

The heat never worked on mine either, but I ordered it as a gift and didn't find out in time to return it. You should return yours for a refund and buy somewhere else, as this appears to be a recurring problem.
