Hi Everyone!
First time posting here. I just purchased a Metabox laptop, with the following specs. Usage is mostly video editing with light gaming. I've only ever had desktops before and I'm pretty tech savvy, but I've never had a laptop of this calibre before so I'm unsure as to whether or not this behaviour is normal.
I've just installed the game Playerunknown's battlegrounds and as soon as the game loads up the laptop goes into overdrive! It turns into a jet engine and the exhausts at the back start churning out really intense heat. Is this normal? I daren't run the game past the menu screen due to this. I know laptops get hotter than desktops, but this seems quite extreme. I've only had it a week or so and haven't got into video editing yet. But this seems pretty crazy for a game.
I'm running the latest drivers.
Specs are as follows:
Metabox Prime-X P775DM2-G
i7-7700K
GTX 1080
Samsung 960 PRO 512GB PCIe M.2 SSD
2x 1TB 7200RPM
32GB DDR4 RAM 2400 MHz
Any help appreciated.
Thank you!
