    Wow..simple way to keep the c90s GPU cool..at least for me.

    I don't know if this has been posted or whatever, but I found an interesting thing about the c90s. Whenever i have it in balanced mode or power saver for the actual laptop, my GPU idles at around 79~84 c. when I put the power save option to High Performance, my GPU starts to idle at 67~75 C. just thought I'd put this up in case anyone is interested. Hope this works for everyone. :)

    It shouldn't idle much higher than 60 ~ 70C. What do you have your laptop sitting on? Who assembled your laptop?

    It's on a wooden desk, and I got it from CyberPower (Haha..long story). I'm currently waiting for a laptop cooler, but it's on backorder.

    Well, most people have it at 80 idle, 100-120 load

    I just played Lost Planet for about an hour and half and my max load was 96C. No cooling pad or vicious mod. I'm thinking about doing the vicious mod anyways when I have the time.

    70-80's idle 100 or just over 100 load seems to be the mid/high end for most I think, I cant recall anybody in the 120 range. At that temp I would RMA
