Would you say the fan is loud on this laptop or even constantly running? How is the temperature? Does it get hot?

I replaced my gateway pc with the Lenovo G580 and one thing I noticed was that the fan comes on less often and operates quietly when it is on. I haven't noticed the Lenovo being hot either, as compared to a dell pc.

The fan is quiet, overall the laptop runs smoothly and quietly. Not hot at all for normal tasks.

The fan is not loud at all, it's a very quite Laptop. The Laptop will get warm if holding in your lap for a long period of time.

I'm about to put a review up, but I've had it for 3 weeks and it does get VERY hot. Much hotter than a 17" I had and hotter than a 15.4" I had. I mean like I didn't know it was safe for it to run this hot, and this is straight out of the box. However, I game for significant periods of time and I haven't had an overheat. Someone in newegg said this thing gets to 64 degrees C with a cooler, and that is accurate. If you buy this for gaming, I would reccomend a cooler (that shoots air to the front of the computer, since that's where the vents are) and u shud be fine. It comes with a free 2 yr accidental dmg warranty (if you register it w/ asus by mailing them a small slip that comes w/ the computer), so send it back if it does overheat.

The fan is very quiet and the laptop does not get very hot. Only thing I dont like is windows 8.

"Very loud"? I owned two of these after trying out three different brands/models in the last five years, and both were average noise level of a desktop computer fan. I would say if the noise you're hearing resembles something louder than a desktop computer running, then some thing is up. Good luck!

The laptop is fairly quiet general. When doing light tasks like email and MS Office work it is very quiet. It isn't silent but I wouldn't consider it loud as normal office/home noise will easily drown it out. When working on more demanding tasks the cooling fan kicks in and the noise is a bit more noticeable. Really at no point have I thought the noise excessive or distracting.

The card does get very hot. You can increase the max fan speed to help cool it off. This will make the card louder but it's a trade off.

We have not had overheating issues. We only use this for light computing. Web browsing and skype.

Hmmm...not sure about the fan, but I haven't heard it and I normally sit within arm's reach of it when using it. I am not using it in a super quiet location, such as a studio, however. When packing up after two hours of use I haven't noticed that the unit is hot.

Mine was pretty quiet most of the time. On startup the cpu fan would be a bit loud but it would quiet down again after a few seconds. I had it for two years, never annoyed me. I had the core i5 3330, gtx 660.

I think that the cooling system is pretty efficient, a little noisy, but makes the work. I work with virtual machines, that demand performance without problem. The battery life is acceptable in this conditions too (2.30 hr using the processor and disk continuosly)

the 3rd gen i7 was known for running hot, however this is a 4th gen so i do not know. try 1 of these if u r concerned about heat, Cooler Master NotePal U3 - Laptop Cooling Pad with 3 Movable Fansby Cooler Master. Amazon sells it for around 30 bucks, mine works great, as far as noisy i dont even hear the 3 80mm cooler fans running and i have hyper hearing

No, the fan stays on at all times. It is not a loud fan. If you have other fans in your computer, it won't be any louder than them.

When I surf the web the laptop is using the 4600 on the cpu and fan is silent. (no heat = no fan)When I play games and use the 780 the fan is on low to med. still quiet the only time it makes a lot of noise is when you hit the fan overdrive button and I only did this to check it out, not because it was needed.

There is barely any noise from this laptop and I love that. It does get warm though but only as warm as expected, not hot, and only during gaming. It stays at roughly room temp during desktop use.

It does not overclock automatically that I know of. It does get pretty warm when I'm running games, but I would not say that it gets hot necessarily. It definitely stays cooler than my last laptop did while running games.

actually one of the things i love about this laptop i the cooling feature. When gaming, it gets, warm. When just using it to go on the web, it spits out cold air. like if i left it on right now, it would be some good air conditioning.
