I'm having some trouble with my G74SX.
My GPU Temp sits idle at 80-83*C
When attempting to play BF3 or other fairly intense game it quickly rockets up to ~95-98*C and starts dropping frames like nobody's business resulting in frame rates that would make solitaire unplayable.
When it hits 100*C the laptop immediately powers off.
I've attempted to work with XoticPC where I purchased the device to RMA the device but the tech support people there apparently have better things to do then help a customer out.
Now I've blown out the fins and internals with an air compressor, much like I would do with a desktop PC. No change to the temps. Searching the forms here these temperature seem high and something is most likely defective.
I have MSI Afterburner installed so i can capture Video (Like FRAPS but free/better compression) it also has a GPU monitor similar to nvidia inspector, however the Fan Speed monitor is null, not sure if that is normal being that the G74 has a shared cooling bank for GPU/CPU if anyone else can check that out that would be appreciated.
-Thanks

My driver version is 301.24
I purchased the laptop in August/September last year and a 3 year extended warranty service because I previously had an HP dv-9700 that the gpi melted on because of a manufacturing defect and HP refused to acknowledge/ replace it. (Never ever ever buy anything from HP) so I guess I'll pursue an rma with Asus.

Did you experience that issue when you bought the Asus? I ask it because maybe the problem started when you updated your GPU driver. In an older post I readed that the 301.24 was causing temp problems.
My sugestion is, install the last beta driver, nowadays I'm using the 304.48 and this one works pretty good, when idle the max temp is 40 ºC. and under load (F1 2011) max temp is 72ºC
If you try this and the problem persists maybe is the hw. Also I recomend you to install the HWInfo and look to the RPM of the fans, there you could confirm if they are working.
Hope it could help you.
