I've had the g74sx for about 3 weeks now and it runs great, but I have a few questions.

Does the laptop have a fan other than the cpu fan? I was checking Speedfan, but only the cpu fan appeared and i remembered that the g74 was advertised as having dual fans.

Also regarding the fans in the back, when running games, I notice that I only feel air coming out 1 side of the vent and very little air coming out the other side. Is that normal?

Haha completely normal

The G73/74 series have such good cooling, that often one of the two fans are completely off, this is why you only see one at times. Keep HwInfo32 open in the background while playing a game and your sure to see both. (One for the CPU, the other for the GPU)

While in game, the GPU fan tends to kick out more then the CPU fan; depending on the game of course, some, myself included, arent only into FPS, but also RTS and Civ style games that take a lot of CPU power, so you're certain to feel/hear both fans on those type of games
