I just use the fan that is made for it's socket and my tower has about 3 fans and it keeps it cooled down.

I've owned several ASUS mid-range gaming laptops, and this is by far the best and the highest specced. The dual vents on the rear keep it super cool. As far as actual temperatures, running Prime95, downloading SWTOR, a Steam game, multiple tabs the CPU and motherboard are 79 celsius and GPU about 52. This isn't normal usage, but as far as high performance machines, this one gets the job done on cooling. The rear vents are nice, my last ASUS had a side vent and I would put a drink there and it would be warm in no time. I haven't actually put it on my lap, and probably never will but a quick touch of the bottom and you can't tell anything is going on.

It comes with a cooler boost thing, but the truth is it gets pretty hot when gaming.

Mel, good question. The case/computer does get hot but I have not experience any overheating. Because I have the same concern, just recently I started removing the upper back cover to allow air to flow around my laptop when in use for a long period of time. You might consider this an annoyance but I love the design of the case and how it protect my laptop.

I purchased this case to make a cheap gaming PC as well, I would buy an additional fan for the side panel 80mm I believe is the size... I hope it's the size I bought one but havent installed it yet :) But with the stock cooling fans running an i5 quad core with GEForce GT 730 (cheap card) the temperature is about 35 C which is well within normal temp range.

It comes with a very small fan which you can attach to the heatsink but it virtually doesn't need a fan. It idles about 39c and I have yet to see it get over 48c under a normal load

It does not get hot! There are 2 speeds. Low and high. Both are very forceful.

Yes it does get hot but only when you use the dedicated GPU(Nvidia) not the integrated one(Intel 4000)Usually when you play games or watch videos for long periods of time. It doesn't get really hot unless you put it on a surface where it can't breath well.The air vents are located on the back part of the laptop, where the display hinges but the display itself doesn't get very hot.There are some air vents below the laptop too but the main one is in the back.

I haven't experienced any overheating issues with it. However, it should have a little bit of airflow around it.

AMD says it's supposed to run hot. To keep cool, turn up fan on card, have well venelated case, or use external fan. Card is so worth it. Buy it.

I use 5000. It's fast and my kids have a blast with it. But the only thing u must get is the cooling fan. It won't over heat with it

It can run pretty hot, but I've never had any performance issues from overheating. If you're really that worried about it, buy a cheap cooling pad. Mine cools it down easily even while gaming.

I just ran it for an hour and checked. Yes, it's fairly cool to the touch everywhere except of course the main vent where the hot air is being forced out, but even that was not too hot to touch on a medium setting. Hope that helps.

By and large it is quite cool unless it is very hot. I usually put a fan on and it is not so bad. Hope this helps.

Hi Cheryl. Sorry it does not heat. Cools really well if you're ever in the market for a cooling fan.
