There's plenty of cooling capability. This thing has two fans that can get to sounding like a jet engine if it gets that hot. And it's ventilated enough that it actually cools it down.

If anything, it's loud as hell under heavy load, but cooling isn't a problem either.

So in short, they do not suck so much as blow?

If it's loud as hell, doesn't that mean cooling IS a problem? You shouldn't need twin jet engines to cool a laptop.

Under heavy load. If you saturate any CPU and GPU, you're going to have it heat up quickly, and depending on your cooling profile, your fans will ramp up.

What the noise actually says is that the fans make noise, and the laptop body doesn't do much to dull the noise.

Cooling efficiency IS a thing...

No, that means it's loud as hell. I'd only consider cooling a problem once thermal throttling comes into play.
