    hello

    I've had the G73JH-A2 for about a month now. Everything is great.

    Only problem I have is with the temperatures. Everything except for the hard drives are constantly running at 55 - 70 degrees. On average it runs at 60 degrees, even idle.

    I was wondering if there;s anything wrong with mine. Any other owners of the G73 have these temperatures?

    I am just thinking it may not be healthy for the machine in the long run.

    So, I figured I should get a good notebook cooler. If so, which cooler would you recommend that would do well for the G73 specifically?

    Thanks!

    60C is the critical temperature for mobile hdd. Mine runs at 45C max even when ambient 33C. That's absolute maximum. Usually it's 33-37C. What program reports these temps? Maybe that program just reads temps wrong.

    if by all temps except hdd you mean cpu and gpu then around 50 idle for cpu and 60 idle for gpu is perfectly normal
