    Guys

    Just ordered the above laptop, and was looking for some advice on keeping the GPU cool. Since I'm not planning on serious gaming, was wondering if underclocking the GPU would help. I'd also like advice on what is the recommended driver to use with it. Finally, is there a USB powered cooling pad that's convenient to carry around with the laptop? Most of the ones on newegg seemed large and/or heavy.

    Thanks in advance.

    Underclocking really helps...try to find stable speeds and set them. If you want a cooling pad, consider the accesoires threads... They may contain great products. But I tell you: it is not great to carry around a cooling pad. It is really something for your desk.
