    If anyone was interested in checking out the temperatures for the Alienware 15 R3 with the Kaby lake processor here you go, all stock enjoy

    EDIT:
    Forgot to add, ambient temperature changed during the test since my girl was baking food, so it could have affected the high's a bit but not sure on how much

    The AW13 didn't really have worrying core differentials, but the PCH temps are. Could you please monitor the CPU PCH temps after at least an hour of gaming?


    EDIT: Since this is the AW15 (my bad), no need to monitor the PCH, it never goes above 60 degrees in this model. The temps look good!

    Just got my repair unit back - they replaced the motherboard - didn't luck out on temps like you did.
