    I read somewhere that the g73JH runs cooler when overclocked on the core. Anyone else seeing that?

    Interesting, my G50's original processor a P7450 i think i could undervolt it to the minimum voltage while still overclocking it as far as it would go and it ran cooler because of this.

    But I am assuming were not talking about anyone who has modified the voltage. I want to say it makes sense but the more I think about it from a consumed power point of view I dont see how.

    Yeah. I'm not sure WHY either, but putting the core clock up seems to drop temps by 2-3 degrees when gaming (or watching a replay in SC2, so it's the same GPU load over and over) with a 60-100 mhz OC.
