    I'm not sure what the temp range for the i720 is but I was looking at the temps on idle using Core Temp and it says that the cpu is sitting at about 50c (average for all 4 cores). I was wondering if that is normal for the G73 and what is the hottest that it should run before I need to be worried.

    50c is normal. I would worry when it hits 100c really. But you have nothing to worry about as if it gets too hot, it will shut down by itself.

    I idle at 42-43C and full load gets me to 62-63C on the i7-820qm.

    ok cool. i will just let it go then. Kinda look weird that one of my core after playing SC2 showed 72c while the others were at 64c. It was core 2 I believe.

    Still on stock thermal paste, and I encoded a 300mb x264 vid at 1920x1080. Temps never went past 72C.

    Full 100% load for about 1 hours 50 minutes. G73 didn't break a sweat.

    But a good repaste is definitely a necessity seeing the rest of the repasted temps. :/

    Some generous, brave soul should do a video repasting the G73 for the newbies.
