I had G551JM for 2 weeks. Running GTA 5, temperatures got high quickly, CPU reached 95-97 celsius and started to thermal throttle which reduced the framerates quite a bit. On regular web surfing it was fine, it just cant cope with the temperatures in high demanding games, it only has one fan. I returned mine and I would suggest to get the G751 model with alot better cooling and performance, worth those extra bucks.

I've been busy. So far I've used the laptop only for surfing and editing word documents. I don't really need the laptop for gaming, I have a desktop for that. I'll benchmark it in the weekend and let you know since my room's ambient temp is closer to yours.

Well my ambient tem is only 25 and I'm running on battery. All power saving features are off. Ran Aida64 and Cinebench(got a dysmal score for some reaosn) and my CPU temps never got past 69c.

Now I'm confused. Is it my ambient temp or is my chip underperforming? The average score is around 600 but I only got 300. WTF?

You get reduced performance on battery - like with any modern laptop you need the power cord connected to get full performance. The battery is not capable of delivering enough power to give full performance in an laptop with quadcore CPU + dedicated GPU.
