    • Come on guys, you are running a 1060 which is hot, so make cooling or localizing the heat during gaming the main priority with fan noise second
    • Fan noise did kick up quite a bit as expected (just like my desktop 970) but the pitch from the laptop is a bit higher so it more noticeable but not distracting unless you have game volume very low.
    • So that's the sacrifice of a 15 inch notebook, heat distribution and fan noise
    • Absolutely, In an ideal world I'd love to hear no fan noise, but for the performance that's packed into this machine, the fan noise is acceptable, just know you will hear it without decent headphones
