Just received my replacement today.
The audio still pops, temps are similar but fan noise is better on this one. But it has huge amounts of backlight bleed. I'm not happy with the amount of bleed so I'm awaiting for Amazon to see if they will send another or I will just go with a refund.
Asus quality control is rather crap on these which is not good enough when it is their flag ship model tbh. The only assistance they have offered is to send it in for repair with a 7-14 day turn around.....
