How hot does this machine get under normal usage?

Idle temperatures are around 45-55C on mine. Maxing it out on Prime95 brings it up to about 80C, which is kind of hot, but not "OMG the CPU is going to overheat" hot.

Chintan, all the reviews I've read state that the dual cooling fan setup runs very cool.

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 and it is a fairly good one if you are going to game or over clock it might get hot. I used as a business machine and it was cool as a cucumber.

I wouldn't worry about overheating unless you are doing an enormous amount of shredding at one time. I use a Shredder Lubricant Sheet (just run one through the shredder and it lubricates and makes it run smoother and more efficiently) once a month and the machine runs very smoothly without overheating.

I've never set mine on the hottest setting but I can tell you it gets very hot. It's a professional machine & it's wonderful.

I'm not sure of the exact amount of time, but I'd estimate several hours with constant use. I've had no issues with it becoming too hot...something I noticed frequently when I had an hp.

It can get pretty hot. As long as it is not making a lot of noise (bearing) and it is pumping water, it should be fine. I would just keep an eye on it for a while.

The operating temperature for that unit is 34-114 degrees. Anything more or less will affect the performance of the unit.

Ours was purchased a couple of month ago and runs so hot that I'm afraid for its life, but it performs great.

No, that does not sound normal at all. Mine has never heated up noticeably, even when transferring hundreds of gigabytes. Sounds to me like there's something the matter with yours.

I used it just for exercise and it gets hot of course - I think is normal, just burning grease ! Of course use it moderate..

The fan is quiet, overall the laptop runs smoothly and quietly. Not hot at all for normal tasks.

Nothing significant. When it comes to heat, there's nothing to worry about unless it is slowing down when it gets hot. There have been times where the laptop has felt slightly hot, but nothing slowed down and it wasn't uncomfortable, so I didn't worry about it. Cooling pads are cheap if you think it'll be an issue. This has been a great laptop for me though.

I don't have any problem with overheating, it just more heavy than regular laptop.

Extremely hot. I suspect 950. It was almost too hot. I ended up getting a variable temperature one.
