    Hey there folks.

    Here I Go

    1-) WHen i overclock the machine to 750/1500/1350 my temp goes just abouve 80 degrees in extreme gaming. I heard somewhere that upto 90 degrees are cool. Is that so?

    2-) Should I ever buy a laptop cooling device? Would they help me around 5 degrees at least?

    3-) I have the non 3D laptop but now I want to get a 3D screen and swap it. Should I do this? Is the 3D screen of Asus a good one? How much would a screen cost?

    THanks people. I will ask more questions if I think of more.

    1 -> Yup, it's totally fine, your GPU can probably handle up to 110C before incurring damage, you want it to stay more in the 80s-90s though.

    2 -> You don't need one, if you want one though, there's a thread somewhere about coolers for the G73

    3 -> No idea about the upgrade (my guess would be that it's possible), from the guys at xotic and gentech, the screen is really good. I don't know how much 3D screens cost, but a non 3D one usually varies from $100 to $200 for a WLED depending on quality.

    Thank you for the answers.

    I decided to give up on 3D screen for now.

    Other than that I am glad that my GPU degrees are cool.

    My fans are working even faster now which is a good thing after overclocking. However I want to know if my working faster would the fans die sooner?
