Dear Community/Dell Staff, 

I bought a new 15 R4 this week with the GTX 1070 and so far I'm quite happy with the general performance (apart from no Tobii and Windows Hello which was advertised!!, no 11 hours of battery life, only 3-4 and many issues with the control center). I have one question however: when I am playing a game, even on max setting the laptop is pretty quiet on "balanced" thermal setting, but the fans work more on "performance" setting. For the quiet setting you warn that it will decrease the lifetime of the laptop, can I be sure that balanced will not damage any components?

Thank you, Phil
