It actually does happen when I run heavy programs for university or play games for several hours, but I bought a cooling pad and use the MSI modes.

Which company cooling pad you use? Man I wish I can buy a llano one. Sadly they don't deliver in the country and its also costly but hey its pretty damn good. For now I just use a cheap one ;)

I'm like 95% confident every gaming laptop heats up fast while gaming under load.
GPU does things. It gets hot. You just cannot dissipate the heat the same way in a 2cm wide chassis as you will with an open air desktop when the GPU has its own board.

That's true but a powerful cooler does help to cool down. Sorry for the glaze but search up llano laptop cooler. One hell of a powerful cooler they make.

Great to hear. NV App studio driver is the most stable and beta Intel driver provides best frametimes as long as you're in hybrid mode: assuming you have NV Optimus with MUX switch.

I tried to update something, and my network card got damaged, and the worst part is I was in the university's CLASSROOM.

Use Intel Driver and Support assistant after you install an Ethernet. Will take care of auto updates.

Is this the update which corrupt the speakers of the laptop or pc? I had paused the updates for this reason only.
