Laptop Cooling

When playing games on my laptop I put these plastic containers with ice and cold water in them (Just to see what difference it would make) Is this a safe thing to do? Is condensation a problem with this method?

What does HWinfo say your temps are at under load? If they are too high (mid-high 90s), replace the thermal paste and reseat the cooler or buy a cooling pad.

Definitely dont have containers of water near your laptop. Accidents happen and electronics die.

I am far from an expert in this so please correct me if I’m wrong.

Quote or tag me so I can see your response
