Overheats and immediately shuts down on modern 3D games. Use thermald to control temp using acpi_cpufreq
Fix fn brightness keys with acpi_osi="!Windows 2012" video.use_native_backlight=1. Do not enable early radeon hook to prevent blank screen after hibernation. Fix blank screen on suspend to ram with sysctl -w kernel.acpi_video_flags=3.
