    What are the maximum temps the CPU, Cores, GPU, HDD can reach? The highest temperature I got was 70-79 on my GPU while playing a game. Is that still safe or should I buy a cooler? Does this cooler work? http://www.antec.com/us/productDetails.php?ProdID=75017

    It blows air underneath the laptop instead of sucking air out.

    That temperature is safe, and typical for a dedicated notebook GPU. For the other temps -- the reviews may list them. Check the reviews.

    If you do get the cooler anyway:
    A cooler that blows under an ASUS notebook is just the right thing to get, because the ASUS notebooks suck air from underneath.

    I bought it, and it doesn't seem to make a difference.

    Well the G50 is a cool running computer anyway -- so the laptop cooler won't produce a sensible improvement. They don't help more than a few degrees, in general.
