Interesting. I just did and now the CPU doesnt slow down (and leveled off at around 68degC), but when the GPU gets to about 70degC the sensor jumps to 102degC and the GPU slows to a crawl. I've seen other people with this issue in earlier threads I found during my research.

For me, not being much of a gamer, A06 is probably the better compromise. I do hope that some one with warranty, and therin some sway with Dell, also finds this issue in A11 and reports it so that we can have both high performance CPU and GPU in A12 or A13.

Not that I'm all that hopeful of a rapid turn-around.

I'll keep this thread updated as information comes to hand.
