Cooling when my lid is closed?

[whathedo69]

I like to use my g75 at home and hook it up to my external monitor and keyboard My question is does my laptop get the proper cooling when my lid is closed I don't know were the cooling vents are so I'm not sure if it a good idea to use my laptop with the lid closed I know the heat comes out the back but were does it draw it in from I just wanted to get some info on it so I don't go and mess up my beautifull laptop.

You dont have to worry, the vents are on the back and buttom so it wont do anything to your cooling having the lid closed 🙂

Ok cool thanks I was wondering because the g75's dnt have vents on the bottom that they suck the air from and when I seen how theyare made It looks like they pull the air from the keyboard area.

They pull from above the keyboard, at least the G53SX/G74SX do. That's why I would advise against the closing of the lid. You can always turn it off and tip it forward to make it lower. The exhaust vents are on the back, as @Apexing said, but the intakes are not.

These notebooks are not hermetically sealed, they'll pull air from wherever they can. And the G75 does have vents on the bottom pulling air in for the fans. Having the lid opened or closed has absolutely no bearing on cooling performance.

Great information thanks I was hoping it wouldnt make a difference because when im home i always hook it up to my external monitor so there is no need to have both monitors on

Here's the low down on the cooling system!


Intelligent dual thermal system
Dedicated CPU and GPU fans for supreme system cooling
The G75VX packs a massive performance punch, which needs to be kept cool. Its dual fans and replaceable filters keep it running cooler and quieter at all times. Its unique intelligent thermal design improves power and efficiency by exhausting hot air from the back of the machine, allowing you to charge ahead and leave the competition battling for survival in your wake.

Back-venting dual exhausts Heat and noise pushed away for more comfortable and quieter environments.
Dual rear-venting exhausts vanquish heat with ease, funneling it out the back of the G75VX so those high temps never bother your. By pushing heat out the back, the notebook's gamer-facing side stays extra cool, increasing your comfort. Additionally, while the fans are eminently quiet in any case, their position towards the back of the G75VX means you can barely hear them at all, as noise is also directed away from you. Cool and quiet: but deadly!




Keep your act clean with detachable filters
Easy DIY take out and clean to ensure optimized cooling and prevent dust build-up
The dual fans integrated in the G75VX ship with custom removable filters that you can pull out and clean at will. Prevent dust and particle build up, keep those filters clear, and experience optimal cooling plus better performance and stability. The design is extremely easy to use so anyone can do it. If you're into hardcore gaming, every last bit of chill is an ally, and peak-performance filters that you can DIY clean are definitely a plus.

There are slight differences in the amount of RAM, the size and speed of the HDD, the presence or absence of an SSD, simple things like that. The chief difference is the vendor, certain models are only sold through newegg, amazon, tigerdirect, etc.
