Just reaching out to the community or any dell representative that would kindly answer this question.

I got myself a nice new Alienware laptop to downsize and replace my existing desktop. First week it worked great and only really ran into one problem when i really wanted to tax the system and ran the Witcher 3 at 4k resolution on Ultra setting ( was very impressed with the results) about 30 min later the system restarted from over heating (I was fine with that as i was pushing the system to the max). Now a couple weeks later a whole lot of other issues have been popping up that I noticed. Audio Jack doesn't work, all of a sudden when I have it switched to the 1070 only my screen is a Pinkish/Purple hue. Now I cant even run gears of war 4 at 1080p maxed without it overheating in 30 mins (can't finish the first mission).

I contacted Dell support and I have a system exchange in the process.

Is anyone else with this laptop experiencing major overheating issues or problem with the fans (to me seems the side intake fans aren't holding up) Whats the best way to limit overheating?

I'm almost tempting to go outside when its below 0 Celsius to play on the laptop.

Dell support has been very good and accommodating but I'm starting to second guess this pricey purchase if this is going to occur with the new replacement system.
