Can anyone recommend a 17inch laptop good for gaming that's fairly quiet?

I'm going to be using it in the same room as the mrs reading or watching tv.

I don't want it to sound like a jet taking off

I had a hp 17inch with a 9600 graphics in it in the past and you could hear the fan but it not too intrusive.

where as my main ssf pc upstairs is quite loud when gaming with a 6870 in it.

Which would quietest out of the 3 below?

Clevo P170OEM speced with 7970
Msi GE70
Samsung 700G7C

Any others that are know to be quieter to consider ?

Samsung 700G7 I use as a Gaming/HTPC pc connected to the Plasma screen and I don't hear it at all, It is very quiet laptop and does not sound like a jet at all, you actually have to put your ears behind it to hear the fans going when it is on normal mode and in gaming mode it is hardly any noiser. Not sure about the others you list there not heard them gaming or at full load.
 
I second that, I've been playing games with thismachine with my partner sat next to me watching TV with no complaints :).

I'm extremely petty about noise, my main rig is built to be quiet too. Under load the laptop is just a nice wooshing sound. Under normal operation it's whisper quiet.
 
Thanks for your input but I decided to go with a made to order laptop
