bioshock will get it that high pretty easily or a game called stranglehold both unreal engine games all at 1440x900. Are you playing crysis at native resolution ? cause you should have hit that temp within a couple minutes@high settings.


For the record though im very dissapointed in Asus (again) and really wanted to enjoy this machine.

just noticed comparing your G71 260m bios with the G51 260m bios and the temps for critical are the same, but the bios date on the G71 is way older than the G51, and also the voltage levels are different on the G71 and alot higher compared to the G51 260m bios, the G51 gpu voltage is .75 level 7 and the gpu in the G71 has two voltage levels .95 and .85 and that is whats probably messing it up! its switch voltages and when it does that it clocks you down for some reason, hardware error i assume!

So it's a hardware error and cannot be fixed? Do they still charge fee's if there is a hardware error and you return it?

if you are feeling daring before returning it, i suggest you go over to the sager or alienware forums, read up on to edit the 280m gpu bios and reflash it and i can send you guys my g51 gpu bios and u can try that one?
