If there is something I have seen the users of notebooks similar to G70 complain about are the high temperatures their notebook reach specially when playing games. We must take into account that we are talking about very powerful processors and graphic cards in a very tight-fitting area.

The design made by ASUS to balance the high temperatures is the best I’ve ever seen in this kind of computers. Almost all the rear area, or at least a 50% of it, is dedicated to the expulsion of the hot air made produced by the components of the device. From the same dissipation area it cools the graphic cards and the processor. The system is simple. Heatpipes to the graphic cards and to the processor, a large copper and aluminum cooler and 2 fans that throw out the hot air by taking fresh air through a grille located above the 2 memory modules of the device. This system allows the heat of the processor and graphic cards, almost at the same latitude at opposite extremes of the device, don’t reach the other components and don’t reach the users hands making the experience of playing with the G70s be exciting in most ways.

Talking about the noise, the truth is that 2 fans like this set in parallel and working at fill load with the energy this device needs doesn’t make it very quiet. The noise doesn’t become unpleasant anyway, even when we are playing or making less exacting tasks.
