    I'm not sure why your 15 R2 is so loud. You should leave something running in the background to monitor temps. HWinfo64 or HWmonitor should do the trick. I played the beta on both my 970m and 980 ti with the AGA. Never saw CPU temps go above 60C. I have done a repaste on my 17R2 though. Dropped temps by about 10C on average under load.
