I'm assuming a single fan at this price, but how is the heat level when gaming and is it intelligently designed for heat dissipation?

Kind of... it gets really hot while playing, but the solution to this is an boost of the device function by some kind of integrated software which speeds the fan up. Now I'm not sure about its impact in energy consumption, but I have to say it works pretty well.

This notebook has a button to turn the strongest fun on, with that I dont have any problems with heat at all. I consider myself a hardcore player, playing for many hours streight.

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'm about to put a review up, but I've had it for 3 weeks and it does get VERY hot. Much hotter than a 17" I had and hotter than a 15.4" I had. I mean like I didn't know it was safe for it to run this hot, and this is straight out of the box. However, I game for significant periods of time and I haven't had an overheat. Someone in newegg said this thing gets to 64 degrees C with a cooler, and that is accurate. If you buy this for gaming, I would reccomend a cooler (that shoots air to the front of the computer, since that's where the vents are) and u shud be fine. It comes with a free 2 yr accidental dmg warranty (if you register it w/ asus by mailing them a small slip that comes w/ the computer), so send it back if it does overheat.

I am using it for gaming with an I7 4790 running at stock speeds. I am just using air cooling with a cooler master 212. Even when running pretty demanding video games and second monitor it is still only hitting mid to high 30's. I think you could probably even play 3d games fine with stock heat sink if you don't mind the noise.

If you're not overclocking, it has plenty of ventilation. Mine came with one extra fan. I added two more since my q9650 is running at 3.2ghz. No problems so far.

I play BF4 on Ultra, WOW on Ultra, Etc.. No need to turn the turbo fan on. It's pretty noisy. Computer Auto adjusts fan speed based on the heat. Computer stays cool, great venting. Owned for over a year. Never had an issue.

My build used a 65w AMD APU with a Noctua NH-U14S (one fan configuration), with a Corsair RM450 PSU (runs fanless under 40% load). I also swapped the case fans out for a Prolimatech PRO-BV14 and a CoolerMaster MegaFlow 200 in the front which were both mounted with rubber fan mounts. I dont use the mesh grill, and all heat goes out the back. I dont have a Graphics Card or an Optical drive, which are the two biggest producers of sound in most of my PCs, but from one foot away it is DEAD Silent. My loads max out at 100-125w, so theres not alot of need for air movement, but if you're looking for a quiet light-duty gaming machine or a silent HTPC (mine is both), then I recommend this case.

I currently use this on an AMD a10-5700 and have not had any problems with keeping it cool. I use it as a media PC so it runs 24/7.

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.

Not sure if it only has one fan. It has a button I push when I want the fan to blow faster when gaming. The air coming out is pretty warm when gaming but I don't know the exact temp. To me it doesn't matter. I really like this laptop and it performs awesome.

The fans are good. The system stays cool. I have (2) 120mm fans on the top and the 2 that came with the case. My system stays cool majority of the time. I run renderings, photoshop, and other programs.

I think is just one fan, it gets very hot on the left side but i've been playing for hours an runs great

I was weary buying another card with two fans since my experience with the GTX 580 TI (with dual fans also) ran too noisy for my tastes. It was just a preference this time around. If I could have the chance to listen to the fans on the 780 first, then it may have set my mind at ease. The dual fans also blow the exhausted heat straight into your case so if your case is not vented enough, you'll have some heat issues. So far the single fan version has not given me any heat increases either on the card or in the case.

its decent for it. its got integrated graphics which kinda sucks, but itll play things like skyrim on low settings, if you want to use that as a benchmark. i havent noticed any overheating problem. i personally use it for gaming as im a twitch streamer and this is my main rig atm.i havent really tried newer games on it as much. it has slowdown with dolphin (gamecube/wii emulator) but runs things like Skullgirls no problem.

The built in fan has a "boost" feature that is really useful for maintaining a comfortable temperature while playing games on high settings. However, the fan makes a lot of noise while in boost mode. The fan in its normal state seems suitable for running games on normal settings or on high settings for short periods of time, but after a while, the core temperatures start to rise to uncomfortable ranges. With that said, I haven't really tried to push the temperatures to their limits nor have I experienced any crashes or issues due to overheating.

Mine pull the heat *out* and it works great. Dramatic difference compared to no fans.

Airflow is fine, I can cool a high end GPU (GTX680) and OC my i7 to 4.4Ghz if I want and it keeps temperatures acceptable. The door was well thought out, and there is enough space not to limit the fan. The only thing of note is that, one of the openings of the door is more "open" then the other for air flow. That "open" end you will want to face away from where you are sitting, or else the noise you perceive from sitting at the desk will go up.
