    Default Laptop cooler pad

    So I finally got the cash and will most likely buy a quality product. Been living off these 2$ cooling crap pads for months, they don't help much, something is better than nothing. The heat at first was mindblowing. 100 Celsius CPU while gaming. And not those games which are very spec loaded. Now with the current one I keep the temperature at least arounf 70 Celsius, but it still is fcking hot. You could fry eggs on it.
    This is my laptop I got.







    Heat and Noise:

    The Dell Vostro 1500 produces an ungodly amount of heat if you run processor or video-card intensive programs. While the system manages to keep itself cool enough to continue operating, it can get almost uncomfortable to leave this computer on your lap while playing games or running processor-heavy applications. The areas I noted that get the hottest are noted below.


    Now those areas do get hot. But I noticed it also is heating up good around the battery area and a few inches in all directions from the marked spots in the picture.

    I am looking for a GOOD cooling pad.
    Not a crap like this(it is way smaller than in real life, do not get fooled) which btw I am using now



    but something serious like




    and something along those lines. Hope you got the idea.

    What I want to see in the cooling pad is the duration of the pad(i.e how long will it last and overall can work good for me) and noise which are very important and the cooling effectiveness as well.
    I am asking this here because I've searched up like I can, but not pretty successful. Hope you can help me find some good deals.

    Hi marcipaans, sorry to hear about that these two laptop cooling pads you bought are not working well. Well there are two types of laptop cooler, a cooling pad may house active or passive cooling methods and rests beneath the laptop. Active coolers move air or liquid to direct heat away from the laptop quickly, while passive methods may rely on thermally conductive materials or increasing passive airflow. All you used are active coolers, i just found another laptop cooling pad from sourcingmap.com, a passive one, it says "Under natural conditions the compound in the mat will automatically reform as the temperature falls below 25 degree Celsius. Notbook Cooling Mat can work continually over 8 hours without any power supplies." Maybe it is a good choice for you, hope this helps!
