Right now I'm pretty happy with my network at home. My whole reason for trying to find a new card is not the range I get at home, I can leave my house and go to my neighbors and still have a 70% signal, it was the performance I got when...

I think the program you are using to monitor your temps may be wrong. I've never heard of a cpu running at 15 degrees. Especially in a laptop. My xps gen 2 cpu won't go below 38. The video cards reduced temps can be attributed to the...
