Just got this laptop after watching many reviews trying to pick the best cooled slim laptop in the market, that could possibly run games pretty well too. After having a Sony Viao that was overheating for years, didn't want to have the same kind of experience. Getting a gaming laptop I expected to be able to play games on it on a whim. But my early experience thus far has been everything but that. I guess I could, but for no more than a couple of minutes at a time.
When I'm idle or browse the internet, or writing this post, it's usually pretty quiet and cool as you can see here.
But as soon as I try booting it up a game, Battlefront II specifically, something just goes wrong, or is this normal, I have no clue? The fans seem to go into over drive, everything just heats up in seconds. By the time the main menu opens up I can be running 80 degrees Celcius, and it doesn't go away. I'm not even in a match, I can just be sitting in the menu, and it's still getting so hot.
And this is all while putting all the in-game visual parameters on lowest settings as well.
Why is this happening?
In game, it doesn't get any better even with these lowest settings.
Then If I choose to believe GeForce optimization, and just go for it, click the "PLAY" button....
Ultra will heat up the laptop, like a hot plate.
This laptop is powerful, I love the detail it manages to achieve, but I never expected it to over heat instantly. If I run even for a minute that game, I feel like the heat will damage the hardware.
So I don't know, is this a normal performance for this laptop, was I expecting too much? I wonder if any of you guys have been experiencing this with your own Zephyrus, or maybe you have seen similar things happen on similar laptops, I would love to hear from you and the guys at ASUS if you have any suggestions that could possibly fix this? I'm still very new to this laptop, it's been just a couple of days.
Thank you for reading this, will be waiting eagerly for your replies.

The issue with mine is the cooler tubes is plugged up with flaking paint chips. Because of the expansion and contraction and excess heat my cooler clogged up. A manufacturers defect.
