yes that was the first thing i did was blow it out, i managed to get it down to 45c idle and a max of 65c under load, reseated it and put some more vent holes on the bottom panel. the cpu stays at 26c idle and about 40c under 2 hours of prime 95. so i managed to keep it stable for gaming lol was reading lots about people having overheat problems and found the cooling engineering isn't so great on this thing. now my holes look like crap but they are working atleast. will post a pic of them for others to see.
pic of my vent holes i cut out over the fan and the gpu heat sink had plastic between some holes so i cut them for better flow and added a tad more over the copper areas of the gpu heatsink and cpu copper tubes.
the temps at idle
and 30 minutes of skyrim, on ultra except shadows which are on medium and the aa is off
After benchmarking in the unigine valley benchmark (Advanced Edition) on extreme HD for 2 hours i got these temps.
the temps aren't bad now but i want them to be better lol i'm always using this thing on my lap and don't want a lap warmer. idk if it producing more heat will suck more baattery but i'm trying to get this thing to 50c under load at stock speeds and will be satisfied. will post pics of the copper shims on gfx card because i left the blue thermal pads on and will be adding These on the heeatsink pipes to try to cool the pipes more, i saw this article http://therisingend.posterous.com/modding-the-asus-g72gx-laptop and thought hmmm can it be better? lol we shall see, These are the shims replacing the little blue thermal pads that sit on the gfx chips between the hea... going to put as5 on the chips, place a copper shim then as5 on the shims then put the aluminum heatsink back and see how temps are after. : )
