  1. Add me to the list of people the fix worked for. I have been dealing with this issue since july, rma'ed twice, took all kinds of camera footage of the issue etc. Games that would have the issue 99.99999% of the time, no longer have any issues. I have tried and tried to get a game to do it, and i cant. I would call this the definitive fix. I'd genuinely like to give the middle finger to the OEM, sand a big warm hug to svl7. *buttslap*
  2. Not fond of the perceptively over-heating PCH; might even go so far as to call it designed failure. I have a 9380-s, pch is directly under the keyboard (right side almost squarely underneath the enter and \ keys). There is absolutely 0 air flow here, so adding a copper mini heatsink does nothing on its own (just adds something else to absorb heat, but doesn't really dissipate it) I actually have the screws for the keyboard out, when im going to be playing a game that hits 100c+ i flip the keyboard up and away (so its face down over the awful trackpad), temp's drop 20c+ with just 'access' to air. I was actually thinking about adding some small screened vents on both sides of the keyboard, maybe a led or two as well, would look pretty nice and allow for SOME air flow. Maybe im just too old school, but 100c is too much for me to feel comfy with, just too much heat being absorbed by various smaller components.
  3. Did the esata/usb recovery method work for you? I upgraded to the a09 in hopes of it lowering PCH temp's (ya i know the Tcase max is 110c, but 85c is just too unsettling for me). Hoping the downgrade/usb recovery works =-/ Worst case scenario, it just doesnt flash the 'recovery' files or has this method bricked some machines?
  4. I use a trackball, though they dont seem to make any decent ones nowadays. Kensington makes a good one though. The CM one looks kinda nice, so does the razer mamba with the crazy mmo buttons. The rat X my friend has, he has had to RMA three times because it quits working after a couple months. My trackball is dieing though, so i need to figure out a good one to adjust to =-/ havent heard of steelseries till now, so ill check them out =-)
