    Hi guys, I have the 17" HP DV7t qe laptop and I am playing games on my 6770M gpu. I have noticed that the upper left corner (where the exhaust vent is located) gets very hot under game loads - Dragon Age 2, Fifa 12, Civ V..not extremely hot, but unpleasantly hot to keep your hand on. I am thinking of buying a coolpad - TARGUS AWE55US. What do you think of it? Is it going to do the trick? Thanks

    It is turned on already on the coolest settings.

    As I said, it is not that crazy hot, however you clearly feel that it is hot, and as far as I am told, it is not very wise to leave a laptop computer overheat for a prolonged amounts of time. That is why I am trying to figure out somethng to cool it down.

    most important question is what is the temperature when that happened?
