    As title,
    hi guys i want to know which kind of fan profile you use when gaming, supposedly, with a good/high oc.
    Im using hearphones so noise isnt much as an issue, and the highest oc i use to play some games (althought im being to think that i dont need it at all, not that high) is 700/1600 which peaks 86c max with stock fan tables.
    My laptop is a p150hmx upgraded to latest bios and ec/kb as november, and its relatively quiet and not so much noisy as the bios that have been shipped with it.
    I just want to know your thoughts about this. When using turbo fan, im peaking 80c max, but mostly 76-77c after 3 hours session with BF3 maxed out (just no AA, Post AA to high, everything else on ultra, no vsync).

    Thank you all for your time!
    PS: my laptop comes with AS5 applied, i think i dont need a repaste as yet, since stock clocks peaks a mere 65c.

    My max without fn+1 gets 92-93C.
    With fn+1 about 84-86C.

    Playing with my laptop tilted on a cooling pad, waiting for a better one though.

    Edit: Forgot to add if it wasn't obvious but this is under full load when playing games (BF3 etc)

    Thanks, I'm using an old Zalman nc 2000 as cooler btw.
    But the fans locations don't shoot at the vents, althought I think it's helping a bit.
    Maybe a better cooler would help, or maybe not...thoughts?
