    Hey guys, I just want to know if there are other work-around to improve the temperature on this laptop. I think I've read somewhere that even it has an IC diamond repaste, it was still running hot (around 90⁰C and above). I've been living in a tropical country in which our normal temperature is between 25-30⁰C so the heating issue of the GE60 really bothers me. I also tried to look for other alternatives but I keep on coming back to this laptop because of its "all in package" (good design,extra SSD slots, Optical Drive and PLS Screen). I hope you can help me.

    Since it's a gaming laptop the power consumption are inevitable and waste heat will happen, but below is what you can do.
    1. Repasting using IC diamond
    2. Add a laptop cooler to help with more airflow in order to reduce the temperature.

    Thank you for your response. But I think these options were already done by others and still they are getting a 90ºC+ Temps. That is why I am asking for other work around.
