Does this laptop get hot during gaming? And are the fans noisy? These are my two primary concerns. Thanks so much.

the 3rd gen i7 was known for running hot, however this is a 4th gen so i do not know. try 1 of these if u r concerned about heat, Cooler Master NotePal U3 - Laptop Cooling Pad with 3 Movable Fansby Cooler Master. Amazon sells it for around 30 bucks, mine works great, as far as noisy i dont even hear the 3 80mm cooler fans running and i have hyper hearing

As long as the fans on the bottom are not covered, personally i have had no problems with noise or getting too hot, gaming on it has ben perfection.

It does generate a lot of heat and occasionally the fan will speed up to cool the CPU. I don't know if it overclocks itself, have never checked but given the heat it puts out normally I wouldn't be surprised if it might overheat. Wouldn't be my first choice for a gaming PC. Otherwise, it is crisp, powerful and solid.

I believe every hardware gets hottee as they get more stressful tasks. As far as I have used, it doesn't get noticeably hotter than any other laptops I have used. All you need is a decent laptop cooler.

The fans get pretty loud when gaming. They must be doing their job because I have not had an overheat problem yet. I wear head phones most of the time so the fan noise is no problem. I usually play with every thing maxed out as much as possible with no problems yet. The only thing I would recommend is get an MSI with a larger SSD than 128 Gig, it fills up very fast with todays games and it would be worth it. That is the only thing I wish I had done, other than that this thing is awesome.

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.

I do some instructional screencasts and am occasionally a binge gamer... I've been consistently amazed by the temperature control on my laptop. After a few hours of a very graphics-heavy game it'll get hot, but I don't notice a performance hit and it cools off very quickly when I close the game.

In terms of air volume, they're not the best, they can't push that much air through the air filters and get it to the center of the case. If you mean the noise, they're almost silent so you won't have any problems with that. The back fan is very silent as well and I feel like it can push more air than the front ones. As for gaming, the interior of your case may get hot, but this depends on how good your CPU and GPU fans are. I'd recommend not removing the case fans, but adding more to the top to get better airflow.

Yes this is a BEAST never have overheating issues handles graphic intensive games with no issues. The on,y downfall is it is a larger laptop, heavy, and bulky

It can be noisy; you can manually set the speed via the speed control knob on the back of the unit. When set at max yes, it is VERY loud. At its lowest it does create a low hum. Temps only decreased maybe 1-3C, during heavy system load it kept my GTX 670 reference card at a nice 57-60C.

[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.

It can run pretty hot, but I've never had any performance issues from overheating. If you're really that worried about it, buy a cheap cooling pad. Mine cools it down easily even while gaming.

I have gotten the cpu to 80F and around 75F for video rendering/exporting using a basic 2 fan laptop cooling pad. Fan speeds were around 5k i think? (According to Dragon Gaming Center) Using hdmi cable to watch movies or average gameplay is around 50F I think

Even battlefield 4 and Crysis 3 runs cool on this laptop. The fans become slightly audible, but it is a whirring noise, not a whining one. No laptop cooler is necessary. The keyboard stays cool.

The cooling on this machine is absolutely fantastic. Even under heavy gaming loads, such as Bioshock Infinite at max settings, it never gets too hot or two loud. I was looking at many desktop replacements, including an Alienware 18 that was almost double the price of the RoG G750JH, and after using this laptop for over a month I have no regrets.

I got the U31SD-XH51 with 2nd-Gen Intel iCore5 and a discrete nVidia GPU for heavy tasks (was on sale for $600USD) instead so I can't exactly tell you anything here. Mine runs extremely cool for browsing stuff and watching videos (fan doesn't even run at all unless I play 3D games). I also give credit to Asus for a well-designed cooling system on their laptop brand. Sources: I still own an HP-DV2210us model so I know exactly what you mean.

Sorry for the late reply here bud......The fan on this thing is pretty excellent. After a 2 hour long BF4 session the fan can cool from 75c+ down to about 35-40c in 2-3minutes.
