Hello, to all the resellers that sell the msi dominator 424 hve you had any cases of it overheating?
Thanks

That design is extremely ambitious from a cooling perspective. You are trying to cool a Haswell chip and a hot GPU with a single fan. Looking at the airflow pattern, the GPU Heatsink gets most of the airflow with a a lesser amount prioritized to the CPU.
Even assuming a perfect mounting system, this design is extremely vulnerable to heavy concurrent CPU and GPU loading. I would not be surprised if you get issues from Bi-directional Prochot throttling.
These 90 degree dual heatsink, single fan assembly implementations have rarely been successful in the past as the weakness has always been the strength of the fan. One heatsink invariably gets more of the airflow, the other overheats, throttles performance. The only advantage to this design is that it is reasonably compact as it maximizes the amount of hardware that can be crammed in to roughly 1/4 the area of the laptop. It is highly inefficient from a cooling perspective. -

Yet the GT60 manages to achieve some of the best benchmarks out there.
It's on the warm side, but so is the dual fan setup in the clevo machines, people fixate on the single fan but it's how you use the airflow you generate more than the fan numbers. -
