Thanks for your answer. But in which occasions would you need the turbofan ? Is it required when gaming ?

Also, what about the noise when doing office work or watching a movie ?

Well, it depends. Did I really NEED to use the turbofan, not really but it does demonstrate the efficiency of the fan. Remember, from a previous post the CPU hit ~82c within 20mins of Prime95 Large FFT, whereas the same test after being run for an hour only hit ~73c. Neither temp is anywhere near the TJMax.

If I was somewhere that had a high ambient temp I would be more inclined to use the turbofan, although the GPU temp never exceeded ~75c while benchmarking with 3dmark11 with no turbofan. Maybe gaming sessions lasting longer than 1 hour. Again, it depends on you and the temps you are comfortable with.

Keep in mind these temps are from a system that does not have the stock thermal compound.

I would never use the turbofan while watching a movie or office work.

Hope this answers your questions.

Ok... so after weeks of deliberation, I have finally made a decision and submitted my order!.....

I dig it, same config as what I chose, only difference is you have the 95% gamut screen.

Thanks man!!! I dig yours as well!

I just hope this thing will work well as a college laptop. I'm going to need it so I can ace my freshman year! ( yeah right lol)

Expected delivery of my laptop is Friday! So excited!

anyone installed the 680m on the gt60 onc with the 670m yet?

I want to, but the 670M heatsink does not look like it matches up with the 680m. The die isn't even the same, 670M is rectangle shape while the 680M is more square.

So, I'm looking for a 680M heatsink, but appears only way to get one is through warranty work (at this time).

Yes, thanks a lot for your precisions !

The GTX680M does work (well) with the GTX670M heatsink, i got very great temps actually, just need to work out the correct thermal pads layout but if you look at my sig, I initially had a GTX670M fitted.

what temperatures are u getting with the 670m heatsink? is it stable?...do u plan to use it as a permanantly?... bdw u are brave... xD
