    Hey guys, im considering buying the Sager NP8268-S from XoticPC and was wondering if the copper cooling upgrade was worth the money or actually makes a difference.

    From the whispering I have heard, the copper cooling option is good for 1-2 degrees drop in temps. I would pass on it.

    On a side note, the new Maxwell video cards should be out within a month. Hold off buying if at all possible. It's a new generation of GPU and the net is a buzz about it. It should be well worth the wait.

    The copper cooling option is good for 1-2 degrees drop in temps , only by using a good laptop cooler. :D
