I hear people on this forum complain in games it heats up to 95C with both CPU and GPU. It can be solved by undervolting, but for me it's strange to buy laptop to immediately undervot it. And also it's discharging while plugged in. I do not own GL702VS, so I do not follow this story and can be mistaking.

Yes it needs cooling upgrades and/or undervolting (which can actually improve performance over factory) but it doesn’t suffer from the discharging issue.

I’ve had one with the 120hz screen for over 6months and i would buy again. The screen is easily the best laptop screen i’ve ever seen.

I did pick up that good liq metal so and there's video online showing how so might work great I did do furmark test on it at pawn shop didn't see high temps like everyone saying maybe I got a good thermal paste job one

As was reported in a thread below: "To prove this, I first changed the thermal interface to liquid metal. That doesn't solve the issue."
