Hey I have Asus N55 and I found that the bottom side does not have any vents at all except the one on the side, which blows air OUT.
So does that means using a cooler won't give any effects at all? I am concern of overheat issues since I'm playing heavy games like Battlefield 3, Crysis 2, etc.
Last time I played the heat was over 80C.

That is a downer. Any other ways to reduce temperature without having to resort to lower settings? I kinda like playing it on high/ultra
If there is none I guess I will have to settle with using air-cond.

In any case, I should skip getting a laptop cooler and get a stand instead?

Yes I tried disabling it. Temperature does drop but so does the performance, by 10fps average.
I'm currently using GT555M driver though, if that have any effects at all.

Currently downloading driver for gt635M. I will try and see if that can help the performance without turbo boost.
Will update later.

Yeah that much. My model is N55SL with i5 processer. Couldn't effort the i7 since it was outside my maximum budget

Hey I've done the driver update for gt635m.
Reduced the processor to around 95% and the heat seemed to cap at 70C.
Performance-wise not much affected. The best driver update so far!!
Sorry for the long update, I was kinda busy focusing on gaming

I guess I can scrap getting a laptop cooler now huh?
