Thanks for the feedback. I'm surprised to hear laptops can handle such high temps. It's been a while since I last used a laptop and I never used one to actually play decent games on, so I didn't know the temps would be so much higher than what one expects on a desktop. I'll keep what you said in...

As tj_extreme said above, read the post :) I'm using AIDA64! I did try several other different programs so it seems the temps are correct. I got around 74-75C. I'm worried that if I game for a couple of hours on this machine it's going to cause some problems over time..You sure up to 100C is...

Here, check this out. PS: The above image is idle temps.

Thanks for the replies all. Yeah, the computer is in an air conditioned room so although I don't know the exact temperature, it is definitely cool enough in here. I guess the mobo temps up to 70-75C are acceptable...at least thats what I've gathered from your input. The laptop's vents are...

I actually did get one today, the Newegg.com - Thermaltake Massive23 LX Notebook Cooler Model CLN0015, but it didn't seem to make much of a difference to be honest. I guess the main question is, is 70-75C for the mobo worryingly high?

Well, I set AIDA64 to alert me if the mobo temp goes above 70C, and after about 5-10 mins of MW3, it alerted me with 71C. And I'm guessing playing for longer may result in a higher temp. I don't get how the mobo can be 71C, it sounds incredibly high to me. This is a fantastic laptop but it seems...

Sorry, it's celsius. Well, my CPU is Intel Core i7-3615QM 2.3GHz, GPU is NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2GB DDR5. But the main concern with temps was the mobo temp. Especially when gaming, the motherboard temperature seems to go up to 70C or so..

Hi guys, I've been using a desktop for several years so I'm not sure what regular temps are like for laptops nowadays. I just got this Samsung NP700Z7C-SO1US, which I am absolutely LOVING so far, and I am wondering what sort of temps are normal for new laptops..For example, using AIDA64, I get...

THanks for your feedback guys but I actually just got the Samsung NP700Z7C-S01US. A friend brought it from America and it is a wonderful machine. Thanks a lot once again, and if anyone is looking for a good laptop out there, I highly recommend this Samsung NP700Z7C-S01US, the only drawback is...

Damn lol, I think I fried the hard drive. I knew it was a risk but I didn't think it'd actually happen. But I got the USB to SATA connection today and the power supply was 2A 5-12V, and the hard disk is 5V and 0.85A. I didn't actually read the 2A thing on the power supply before I connected it...

Thanks a lot once again. Will return with feedback even if it takes a day or two (going to have to wait for the SATA to USB adaptor to get to me first).

Well actually, I don't know if you watched the video I shared earlier on in the thread where the guy shows how to take this laptop apart and install the SSD, but I followed his advice there and used my nails to do the prying. I did use a screwdriver to help myself, but I taped the end of it to...

So it's up to how windows is feeling that day :) Well, it's worth a try I suppose. As I said before, opening this thing is a pain and I damaged it enough the first time, don't want to repeat that. I'll report back with the result tomorrow I suppose.

Hmm. Well I just ordered one of those online, they're cheap anyways. What do you mean as long as the boot settings still work? Will it actually be any different to putting it back into the laptop when I connect it through the SATA to USB thing?

I just need to connect the old laptop hard drive to my laptop to boot from it and then create the recovery disks. I'm not going to use the hard drive any longer after that. Clonezilla, as you will see from the posts above, did not work because of the fact that the original laptop HDD which was...
