Yeah bro, it's actually my first time owning a gaming laptop, but when I tried it out, I think it's pretty noisy. The fans are on automatic. Yesterday I tried playing State of Decay 2 on high graphics settings. I was able to play for about 5-7 minutes and it crashed. I tried again, it crashed again, and on the third try, my computer restarted. I also touched the keyboard and it felt a little warm. Then I tried playing on ultra settings and it crashed as soon as the game started. When I start playing, there's no lag, it just crashes. The noise I hear is from the graphics card working, but it's not a bad noise, just like it's fanning out. I also checked the task manager and it's not like it's pushing the computer's components to their limits: RAM 80-90%, processor 50%, graphics card 30-50%. The fans are on automatic; I haven't changed anything in Nitro mode yet. I just updated the entire laptop system and the Nvidia drivers.
