    Using mine right now with a fresh install of windows 7 on an SSD and so far the heat has been a non-issue. Haven't tried any games yet but i'm going to doing that shortly.

    Playing Portal and Minecraft sent the fan a spinning. It was sorta like a jet taking off, but I quickly got used to it (fans never bother me anyways). I haven't tweaked the fan settings at all at this point.

    With my SSD - heat is very low. Nothing to even think about,
