Wow?

@guihercat Doh! I knew I forgot to include something. For this particular test we used HWInfo32 and HWMonitor because they had specific support for the G73 and are both free. Some other software suggestions would be CoreTemp, RealTemp and Speedfan. Its usually not a bad idea to test out a few different programs in case one has some issues with your hardware.

I just do not understand why these stupid companies keep making these with the fan inlets on the BOTTOM of the cooler, instead of ducted out the SIDES like the Targus Chillmat.

Do they not get it that we are not always wanting to be tied to a DESK or some place with a level, flat, hard, surface? Like maybe lay it on the bed or our lap while sitting in a chair etc..

I like the extra features on this one.. but why no inlet on the sides instead of just another one needing air from a flat table?

They give it the option to power up with a HobbyKing Lipo battery as they are cheap, powerful and hold a high capacity.

@hologun lol im sure if you run burn in or furmark it will get over 40c unless you are using liquid cooling. Even alienware are helped by the cooling mats.
