+1 to all the comments about reducing processing load where possible. Beyond that, if you don’t already have one I use a cooling pad. It is basically just a raised platform with fans under the laptop to move air across the bottom.

Don’t expect marvels, but I definitely notice a difference of a couple degrees.

This is what I use:

Although I don’t recommend this particular one; the angle is too sharp and without modification my laptop was sliding off. Something like it could help though.

Consider fan noise from the pad itself, angle, and if the laptop will have a small air gap between the fans for air flow.

Hello! I in my case if you used a refrigerator, and the difference is quite noticeable, so it is advisable, and now more that comes the hot months (in Spain). I have this basis for a 17 R4: https://www.amazon.es/gp/product/B00ED3WMTC/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A31522I6NTHR25

That would be a "Cooler Master NotePal U3 Plus" I bought on Amazon around a year ago. It has 3 fans underneath that you can latch-in below your bottom grille for a little extra airflow, but they don't really push much air. The stand is lightweight aluminium which is easy to carry around, but the handle ended up breaking on me from everyday use, other then that it's been a decent buy, helped lower the temps on my previous Acer laptop by around 5-10 degree's.

EDIT: Just checked the reseller prices on Amazon. I bought mine for 30 dollars with free shipping, it's advertised now for 60+ dollars, I think for 30 bucks it was worth it, but I wouldn't pay over 40 for one, there are better options that would last longer then this pad at that pricerange.

If your laptop sucks air from the bottom then I would suggest that one and the best part is you can move the fans around

u/_Maineiac_ · 2 pointsr/Alienware

The 10c was with fans the 8c was without. The fans make so little difference I think that the bigger issue is simple airflow.

Try a cooling pad first, one like this https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-NotePal-PLUS-Performance/dp/B00ED3WMTC/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1498884589&sr=8-8&keywords=COOLER+MASTER+LAPTOP+PAD

Also I cant find that model, is it a g700. The only reason I am asking is so I can find a teardown guide for it, so I can see how they set up the onboard cooling, so we can set up the cooling pad to create cool airflow through the case.

u/MoodyPandu · 2 pointsr/Dell

There are vents underneath, but also at the vertical-top part of the keyboard which blow the hot air up in front of your screen. For my previous laptop I had already purchased this cooler, which I still use. Don't know if it actively cools alot, but the aluminium bottom doesn't heat up as much which is a good thing I guess.

Besides the cooling I really like the position the cooler gives for writing and the adjustable fan speed though.

u/VitaHemp · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

Take a look at this extra cooler. Someone else linked the same type of design as this one, but from what I can tell this one seems to get better ratings and reviews. Granted, I didn't look too much into it.

You should also take a look at this cooling pad. I have a similar version and it worked absolute wonders for me until I finally got my desktop. It's a very open cooler so air flow shouldn't be too much of a problem as you stated you experience with your current cooler.
You can also adjust exactly where you want the fans so that they blow right into the vents on your laptop.

Of course, there's the obvious possibility that your laptop outputs far more heat than mine did, so take my recommendation of this cooling pad with a grain of salt.

u/Rickrogue · 2 pointsr/pcmasterrace

I used a Cooler Master NotePal. I have the U2 which was usurped by the U3. Solid metal design with 3 fans that you can move and place where you want/need cooling. It was referred to me from the notebook check forums 5 or 6 years back. Worked great.

edit. Don't know if it is cheap, but is a great cooler.

u/LinkToThis · 2 pointsr/mac

Cooling pads are good, and also can raise your laptop at an angle for more comfortable typing over long periods.

I use this as it is possible to move the fans to where they are needed for different laptops.

u/houndazs · 1 pointr/pcmasterrace

seeing as those temps are still in the "normal" range, probably not, but you can always ask. A cooler may help, try this one

u/Lurking_Commenter · 1 pointr/MSILaptops

Sorry for the thread necro. I got this one and it is excellent. I drilled out two holes at the bottom and installed two machine screws wrapped with plumbers tape to keep the laptop from sliding off the pad. I then added a pad on the bottom with a polyurethane cushion so it can sit comfortably on my lap.

u/_Zell · 1 pointr/Alienware

I have the alienware backpack and have never had any problems with it leading to scratches or damage to my laptop (unless I dropped it once as I did with my last laptop, an L702x which required a massive backpack). I should note I tend to only put my laptop and charge in the big pocket with my books, papers, and clipboards in the other pockets. Especially important with the clipboard so I don't destroy the finish of my laptop!

You could sleeve it, but it will still be annoying to carry around unless you put it in your bookbag anyway.

For stands/cooling pads I use a Coolermaster U3 Plus, I almost never use the fans unless I am gaming, but I find the incline is perfect for making the laptop comfortable to type on!

u/YaCantStopMe · 1 pointr/Alienware

A cooling pad will definitely help, ive heard just raising the laptops back off the table a inch has helped thermals. I would look into a cooler like this though: https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-NotePal-PLUS-Performance/dp/B00ED3WMTC

The u3 is meant for 17 inch laptops, but you can grab the U2 which is the 15inch version but you will loose a fan. Ive used the cooler for years and its one of the best because you can move the fan exactly where you need it.

u/1cmanny1 · 1 pointr/LifeProTips

I highly recommend this:

https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-NotePal-PLUS-Performance/dp/B00ED3WMTC/

I used to use a book and did so for years. It usually just wrecks the book and never lifted the laptop that high off the bed.

This thing is metal so sturdy and it tilts the back of the laptop up. You don't need the fans, but if you do need the extra cooling they aren't obtrusive at all. I wish I got one much sooner.

The main thing that damages batteries is heat. So this LPT will indeed help your laptops life.

u/stormhart · 1 pointr/Alienware

The description says that the stand is 33 by 28 centimeters. The Alienware 17 R4 is about 43 by 33 centemeters. I don't think it fits the Alienware 17 R4 well. This seems to be a better fit: https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-NotePal-PLUS-Performance/dp/B00ED3WMTC

That one looks like it would be very effective, but how loud is it? I was looking into coolers today and found a couple:

This one is kindof different but it seems to work and it has a lot of good reviews.

Read really good reviews on this one and I like that you can adjust the fan position.

I actually have that exact one, and have had it for a few years. I ran tests with it when I was running an M17x R1 and M18x R1 (a few years later). I can't find the numbers, but IIRC it resulted in about 10% lower temperatures. It also added a lot to dust build up. Ultimately, I think it is worth it, but I paid a lot less than what it is up for now. Also, with the newer Alienwares, the vents are less segmented so you could probably make do with one that has 1 big fan or 2 smaller ones. On the m17x/m18x with SLI/CFX there were 3 distinct spots for processor and 2 gfx cards.

How long has this problem been going on?

If you want a good cooler for a reasonable price, I've frequently suggested the Cooler master Notepal U3 Plus.

u/fch4 · 1 pointr/razer

Well, my Razer Blade 2016 was running quite hot playing Witcher 3, so I got this one from Cooler Master. I kind of looked at quite a few of these, and eventually decided that the best kind of cooling pad is a sturdy mesh that raises the laptop off the surface more than the little rubber feet on the Blade can. Somehow, I think that that accounts for the majority of the cooling. A lot of the other pads are sealed plastic boxes, where you have to hope the fans are efficient.

However, this thing does have three fans you can move freely around on the pad itself, so you can align it nicely with the air vents on the bottom. Also, the fan speed is adjustable, and you can locate the switch anywhere on the pad, since it is a clip on.

I did notice a significant difference in "touch temperature" playing Witcher 3 on the Blade, though I don't have any empirical data to back that up... Just another option to look at...

u/SandwichOfLies · 1 pointr/Lenovo

It will show you CPU temps.

Also, as far as cooling goes, I use this without the fans (on a desk): https://www.amazon.com/Cooler-Master-NotePal-PLUS-Performance/dp/B00ED3WMTC/ref=dp_ob_title_ce - Its a bit big for this laptop, could probably go with the 2 fan version.

u/Mr_Tigger_ · 1 pointr/Alienware

Personal advice?

Be very very careful, I bought a cooler master U3 and positioned the fans near the intakes and the dust on the matrix protecting the fans underneath my 17R3 was building up on lowest speed setting. Had to blast it all out.

Since moved the fans as far away as possible to cool the battery area under the touchpad and all good. I’ll never direct air at the intakes again, and the battery area is kept far cooler than without.
