According to Notebookcheck.net the model reviewed featured a 2GHz Intel Core i7 2630QM quad-core CPU, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560M 3GB GDDR5 discrete GPU, a 17.3-inch Full-HD 3D LED back-lit display, dual 750GB 7200rpm Seagate HDDs, and 8GB of DDR3 RAM. Now with those main features in full operating the G74SX remained “pleasantly quiet”, and the reviewer noted, “hardly any gaming notebook (especially when used for gaming) is as quiet as this”.
When they were measuring noise they were looking for fan noise, if you’ve ever used a computer of almost any kind for gaming then you know about fan noise and how disruptive it can be. It’s very good to see that Asus has been able to keep the fan noise down on their machine to well below 40dB no matter the situation (using data provided by Notebookcheck).
