    Well i've only had it for a month now, and the new GPU for about 3 weeks. So far i can say that my new GPU doesn't go over 80C and that is after many hours of playing the WAR Beta. My 3dmark06 score has oddly gone up approx 150-200 points, not really sure why, but hey I'm not going to complain. I also have not noticed any adverse effects of heat from the GPU to any other part of the laptop.

    It has also held up extremely well with me lugging it back and forth to work every day I am on shift, but that is not related to heat :)
