Laptop Cooling Pads

arc4599

Well i have bought a dell g5 with i7-8750H and GTX-1060max-q lets say half a year ago and i really got into playing games(mainly fps such as Destiny 2) and i noticed that my laptop was throttling nearly every minute, on the details the game determined to be optimal for me, from around 80 fps to 30 ish and sometines even as low as 15 fps in some intense pvp matches so i naturally adjusted some details to low preset actually but still there are some occasional drops to 30-40 fps...so i was thinking of buying a cooling pad for my laptop to upgrade the thermals to be able to play at least at medium preset...can someone please recommend a brand or a specific pad that would make a difference for a reasonable price

Download Intel XTU and undervolt your CPU. There are many tutorials on YT on how to do this, and the process is very easy. You just keep decreasing the core voltage offset and stress testing your CPU until you get a crash/BSOD. My 4700HQ's load temp decreased by like 10 degrees C.

 

You can also undervolt your GPU: https://www.reddit.com/r/nvidia/comments/6ejqja/psa_undervolting_your_gpu_can_give_you_a_free/

 

EDIT: As for cooling pads, they haven't been too great in my past experiences... so ya.
