    Just curious how you guys keep up with keeping your fans dust free? I know the g751 has better cooling then the gt72, but after a while if you can't clean the fans on the Asus it will be less effecient then the gt72! And Iddon't feel comfortable taking a asus all apart to get them I tend to break stuff!

    You can use air dusters with a plastic utensil to keep the fans from spinning.

    Yeah, but at least its then free to be blown away... not "burning cakes" or blocking vents (it can build up like a mattress of dust if you do nothing). Dust isn't so bad if air flows free.

    I am pretty concerned this engineering issue as well. Living in a studio flat that generates lots of dust...

    Indirect air draw is less likely to build up the carpet type of fluff in the first place but if you do it regularly a significant amount should not build up.
