    Nowadays whenever I cold-boot my laptop, even in the morning, EVGA and Speedfan read my GPU temps at 71-74 C!!! Now that's much too hot! That's probably why my laptop fan always drone on and on extremely loud. Even at idle the fan generates a high-pitched whine. I can hear it down the hallway in the kitchen. I'm starting to think this model is crap at cooling. Anyone with any suggestions on how to fix this problem? I don't think my laptop was this loud when I got it in 2009....
