ROG 2 Heats up to 41 to 42* Celsius and shuts down while Playing games

[eknarayanhari]

Hi ASUS,
You have Designed THE WORST GAMING Phone of the century which goes dead when ROG 2 Heats up to 41 to 42* Celsius and shuts down and either goes DEAD or Restarts several number of times until it cools down to 39*Celsius. When ever during the use,whether its watching videos online/or using VIDEO conferencing apps for long hours which is the need of the hour or THE FAMOUS SELLING POINT of the ROG 2-- "BEAST in Gaming" crashes at 40-41* Celsius. First time in my life i have seen such a product. And I literally wasted my money on such QUALITY.
This is theWORST DECISION which i have taken to switch from S10 to ROG 2 for gaming/everday use
Now in this lockdown i cant call any body and cant work from home also. And I researched about the same issue. It seems a lot of people have same issue but ASUS Seems to be SLEEPING on this ISSUE.
NO acknowledgement of the issue leave aside APOLOGIES from them also.
BUT they are happy to send you a SURVEY in such state.
HOW INHUMAN such a Act should be called from you ASUS.....HOW INHUMAN.
This is an HARDWARE issue and you people are still not taking note on this issue .
WHICH IS REPORTED SO MUCH BY SO MANY GAMERS ACCROS THE WEB.
KINDLY TRY TO ACT HUMAN LIKE COMPANIES SUCH AS IPHONE AND ONE PLUS.

I got a transparent rubber case on and I was not charging. I didn't have air cooler on, and I do appreciate it might be expensive, but here I managed without it.
EDIT:// I didn't even have X-Mode on and I was on 60hz refresh rate.

Here is another proof that lower graphics will help you with your heating problems.

Both screenshots below contain lowest settings and within the same 2 minutes of doing nothing. The first screenshot is lower than my previous post and my second screenshot shows it has gone up 1 degrees. That's 3 degrees cooler than you have with high graphic settings.

EDIT:// To answer your point Manoj, yes it's a gaming phone and it does mean you can have higher settings, but not forever. I make you run forever and you will be asking for a break at some point. Everything has a limit.

Are you using low graphics? With low graphics playing on COD, I can get 41 - 42 degrees with X-mode at 60hz along with the hardcore tuning within 30 minutes to 1 hour. But it doesn't sound normal to have 36 degrees when not being used, unless you're in a very hot room or in a hot country.
I need someone who has a 12GB RAM phone who also play either COD or PUBG to see if they face this issue. At the moment, personally I am only seeing this issue on 8GB RAM phones. The only explanation I have for the restart and heating is because of the lack of RAM as your phone will be torturing itself to get more memory when it's approaching its limit.
