    My videocard generates more heat while on wireless mode?

    Does anyone experience this? Is the wireless card real close to the videocard?

    I've never heard of this. The wireless card is located under the keyboard on the opposite side of the machine from the GPU, so it's not really even close physically. However, I wouldn't be surprised to see CPU usage and heat spike if you were doing intensive file copies as it does some of the offload.

    How much of a difference were you seeing?
