    Ive had my 7811 for a couple months now and loving. 1149 last one at the nearest Best Buy :) I have a rew comments and questions.

    Using Hwmonitor with L4D and TF2 my GPU temps never exceed 64C. With Hours of gaming.

    I read were people have high GPU temps Is mine correct? Is my hwmonitor not reading it correct?

    Because It seems like a very low temps for a 9800m GTS.

    Plus i am new to the laptop world and this notebook so any info is helpful. I am runnin 180.70 drivers for the GPU with a stock BIOS. Everything is stock clocked.

    One more thing my fps is great in l4d maxed rez and setting but Tf2 isnt the same. I run on high setting at a mediocre resolution of 1200x720 or something like that i forget. Is this normal???

    I got my 7811 lifted a bit in the front and quite a bit in the back and I average around 65-67C when gaming. Air temperature is anywhere from 65-72F.

    lol sorry, just laughing because people normally ask if theres a problem because their temps are high, not if theres a problem because their temps are too low.

    64c is good though, that's what I get with a notebook cooler
