    Cheeseman????

    Another cheese lover I see? :D

    Hmmm...

    Anyway, congrats on the X1. That's the I'm looking at now.

    You say it runs hot though? Hmm.

    I wonder if the X5 runs cooler?

    I guess it should be a problem as long as its well ventilated?

    My A1 runs pretty warm too, video card does about 80c load in a 25c ambient room.

    That's about right for me, I get 78-79 with 20C ambient temps. I think nVidia's are rated to over 100C.

    My X1 doesnt run hot at all. Although I am coming from an 8600mGT that would hit 96+. The thing I love about the X1 is that although it does get a bit warm, the palm rests never hurt my wrists from being to hot. I could never say that about my sager, dell, alienware or another asus I had.

    :)
