I scrolled a lot through the forum and I've seen multiple people complaining about GPU no performing up-to the mark etc. of the Helios 500. Is there anything that I should know about or check to ensure that I would not end up in some kind of a problem at sometime in the future?

General gameplay sessions doesn't seem like having any issues, like Assassin's Creed Odyssey with Ultra settings, everything cranked up(cuz why not), gives like ~75-90 FPS on an average.
Any help would be great!  <3

    Seems to me your H500 is running fine what is your exact model and what are your temps ?

    If you feel you temps are a bit high you could also consider unvervolting(cpu/gpu)/optimizing windows and lastly a good repaste will usually sort all issues these are just instructions for those who feel they have issues but as i said u don't seem to have any so you are fine :)

    I've been continuously browsing for almost 8hrs now and the Predator sense shows my CPU at 50C. Although I don't notice any overheating even with intensive usage, I've seen the temps max out at around ~80 for CPU (full load) but then I crank up the fans to maximum for sometime just so that I can cool the processor faster. The laptop model is PH517-51 (i7 8750H, nvidia 1070).
