How hot does this PC get when you play intensive games. I usually have to play around 70C. Is this way to high to constantly be playing at?

Bueno, amigo recuerda que este equipo es muy potente pero las tarjetas nvidia tienen el problema de sus elevadas temperaturas, eso por una parte. Tambin recuerda que tu equipo es porttil por consiguiente todos componentes estan sometidos a esas temperaturas yo que tu no me preocuparia, solo si no estuvieras jugando o en aplicaciones que consumen muchos recursos y se calienta si seria algo serio pero por lo dems no. Yo juego BF3 y si calienta un poco pero nada que alarmarse. saludos desde Venezuela

I returned mine. Noticed acer has proprietary drivers. Would not except updated drivers from nVidia for 3D gameplay.

You're on fire if you're playing at 70c. You probably have some kind of magical computer, don't throw it away!

They do run a bit hot, but not as much as the R9 280X IMHO. The new fan design does a great job of cooling the card. If anything a bit noisy. Its a great gaming card

I am currently using the stock fan. At stock speeds my computer stays pretty cool, 15-20 C. When playing online games however, they go up to 40-45 which I guess isn't too bad. With higher settings on games/programs the fan then turns into something like a Bulldozer running over C4, extremely loud but does a pretty "Ok" job at keeping the CPU cool if it isn't put under anything over regular use stress. I would highly recommend getting a better fan if you have the money, but if not, you should be fine until you manage to get your hands on one.

It does not overclock automatically that I know of. It does get pretty warm when I'm running games, but I would not say that it gets hot necessarily. It definitely stays cooler than my last laptop did while running games.

I had a constant problem with this computer overheating, even tried a HUGE cooler on the cpu, didn't help much. I have this cooler on two of my computers and I've had no problem with overheating whatsoever. I play all my games, FPS, Racers, etc., at highest settings and no problems. Wouldn't build a new computer without one.

It does run hot when gaming for a long period of time. Although, if you have a cooling mat, you can play for a lot of time without worrying. When I do gaming, I install it on one of these mats. The GT72 have 2 fans now, while the GT70 only has one and a big one. Plus, you should always turn on "high ventilation" option while heavy gaming!

I don't use it for gaming, I use it mostly for photography, "Photoshop". It does not overheat for me.

Yes it gets hot when playing, my room is usually warm and that doesnt help i am playing skyrim at 67C-72C, the other thing is that i play with the laptop on my lap, maybe using it at a desk may help, and im planning on buying something to get my room a little bit cooler in the days hehe

You're definitely right! I think the chip outputs too much heat. What I did is undervolted the cpu from the BIOS and also disabled the AMD Turbo Technology, and now it's so much cooler and quieter. Temp on idle around 30-35 load 50-55. Lowest degree was 25. That's insane with the stock fan!

I run world of warcraft, battlefield 4, and many other high end games at max settings. it will get hot doing it but turn on the fan boost and your golden.

I've owned several ASUS mid-range gaming laptops, and this is by far the best and the highest specced. The dual vents on the rear keep it super cool. As far as actual temperatures, running Prime95, downloading SWTOR, a Steam game, multiple tabs the CPU and motherboard are 79 celsius and GPU about 52. This isn't normal usage, but as far as high performance machines, this one gets the job done on cooling. The rear vents are nice, my last ASUS had a side vent and I would put a drink there and it would be warm in no time. I haven't actually put it on my lap, and probably never will but a quick touch of the bottom and you can't tell anything is going on.

yes, i had it above 4.0 even without liquid cooling, i don't recommended that of course, my case has 7 fans and the air coming out is very hot; but the point is, it is still stable.

Even during intense raiding (4 hours no break) it would never get hot. Very well built. There is a reason every top gamer uses razer.

I play Battlefield 4 and Guild Wars 2. Both keep a smooth steady 60fps. It would probably be higher if my system was a little beefier. I have an AMD940 with ddr2 ram. I don't overclock, and it always stays a tad below 70c under load. My machine gets a little loud when everything is running at full speed, but Im not sure if I can hear the GPU fan above the power supply and CPU fan which will speed up under load. I think its a great card for the money.

My card runs Battlefield 4 quite/cool and I do not use any additional cooling. I think you need to evaluate the environment you have for your PC as well. The room I have my rig in is cool and well ventilated which I know is a contributing factor. If you plan to overclock too, that will be a determining factor. I recommend buying this card (or any) and run it the way you intend to, then determine if you need any additional cooling. I do run a Corsair H60 on my CPU.

[LOL!] LoL runs wonderfully! I play all the time. Main jg/fidds and sup/thresh. Hit me up after you buy this bad boy and we'll play a round! I haven't changed any of the default graphics settings, and I'm running with no visible lag. As with all Alienware laptops, expect it to get warm while you play though - you might want to pick up a cheap cooling pad. I got one for ~$15 and it dropped my CPU/GPU temps about 25F each.
