    The New GE60 MSI models as we have seen in gentech's review ran at high temps. of 90+ with factory paste. It seems the fan of the GE60 is slightly smaller compared to the GT60, the copper tubes in the GE60 are only 2 compared to what seems like 5 in the GT60 and in the GE60 the HDD is placed in the Secondary Bay making the heat concentration more towards the right side as CPU,GPU,HDD are all on the right vs Primary Bay in the GT60 non pro which places the hard disk to the far left away from the CPU,GPU's heat. Are these valid reasons to conclude that with or without proper paste, the GE60 will remain hotter than the G60 in general?

    Would it be safe to compare it to the older generation? It seems like a lot of people didn't like the GE60 because of its notorious cooling. I'm also wondering if the newer GE60 model fixed the cooling issue, but so far I haven't found anything online =/. Waiting for a good review before I buy one. Otherwise it looks like I'll just have to keep looking for a better laptop.

    I would say that the GE60 Apache will run cooler than the previous version due to the new Maxwell card in it. Also a guy from GenTech posted a pic of the Apaches temps repasted with IC diamond and they average out at about 80 degrees.
