I have an asus g50vt, and for those of you who know of it, cooling is a major issue with this model. After playing for less than an hour, my gpu can easily hit 80, so I would like to know of some best price/performance fans out there. Thanks

best ones are
the bigger board the better, 2 fans or more, uses usb power and not wall power
the rest is just cherry on the cake

80C is fine for a GPU. Mobile GPUs can operate in over 100C conditions.

But then my fans would constantly run at 100%, shortening their lifespans, and I dont know if i can replace them if they wear out

You can replace anything on your notebook - it's just a matter of how hard it is to do. Fans are actually quite easy.

It will take a good long time for your fans to die - probably 7 or 8 years. By then you'll have a new machine.
