Question on graphic choice for thermal issues

I am just wondering what my next laptop will be, I want a decent 17'' laptop with a good (doesn't have to be bleeding edge) GPU.
However I don't want a hot running GPU. I am currently using an ASUS G2P 17 with a radeon x1700 it plays games ok.. a bit low on fps but its a radeon.
my temps are 45C at idle and 58-60 under full load.
from what i have been reading everyone elses cards are hot enough to burn bacon. This kinda makes me nervous since every 10 degrees feranheit doubles chemical decomposition and oxidation that the item is exposed to. So people saying 80-90c is fine makes me think yeah but not for long. So my question is this. what decent current laptop GPU has decent power but lower heat. I know each manufacturer has different cooling ranges and so on and so forth appearently sager is king of keeping things cool. but what are the heat ranges of 9600gt 9650gt 9700gt 9800gt or the radeon 2450, 3650, (noone knows the 4850 temps yet cmon MSI release that bad boy already) but from what i have read Radeon parts are hotter running than NVidia parts??

 

What you should really be looking for is a notebook with a good cooling system. The only reason a graphics card in a notebook runs hot is because of the cooling system.

Take a looking at the Clevo M860TU aka the Sager NP8660. It has a 15.4" screen and 9800M-GTS graphics card and runs very cool:

That's my point - even though that notebook has a 9800M-GTS, it still runs nice and cool under full load.

Anything ~70*C is considered cool, 80*C is not unusual, and 85*C+ is 'dangerous' in a sense that you may have reduced lifespan.

 

Usually in a notebook though, to get good cooling, your gonna have to deal with a higher level of fan noise. At least that's my experience.
