ATi cooler? thats only if the pasting is good. If that unit has bad pasting, it's gonna be way higher, Another thing is, Asus G series did not have as much cooper as AW, if im not wrong. They just use typical heat pipes from the CPU and GPU. The only advantage is, there are 2 fans in the laptop and they are quite quiet under load.

Compared to running a benchmark or game, at high settings/medium, over at least half an hour, in a non-air conditioned room. ' 10 minutes ish, the temps increase quickly to 65 from 50 ish, then, remained stable after that. Games, i think it wasnt that hot too, as games arent as demanding as those stress test apps.

What I mean is pairing discrete GPUs with i7 makes it hotter than most dual cores. Max temperature can depend on the system. Here we have max temp claims of 60+ to 70C, but "reviews" suggest they usually are at high 70s and can move to 80-90C depending on the laptop. Its limit the card can withstand is about 100-105C. It's hard to say, as each system is built slightly differently. As long as it doesnt overheat or underclock, i think it should be ok.

I knew it's an unfair test, as the test was made for duo cores, rather than quad. I couldnt find any suitable replacement software for it.
