cooling pad...

So my brothers has acer 5750g which has ridiculous cooling so we agreed that he needs a cooling pad. I searched for some and came up with this - http://www.thermaltake.com/products-model.aspx?id=C_00002117 The reasons why I think this would be good is because it has 2x 140mm fan(if one dies, I can replace with somekinda other fan), its quiet and its has some static pressure and the reason why I need that is because we cut holes in the plastic above CPU and GPU and put some aluminium mesh over it.... Should I take this one?

I don't really think that you should get one unless temps are going above 90C(which they aren't because then it would be just about burning to the touch). Laptops are meant and known for running hot. Just because its puffing out heat and running warm doesn't mean you need one of these. Like I said unless its reaching into the 80-90C's then its unnecessary unless you just really want it. From what I've heard from other's cooling pads don't do much anyways. As long as your laptops on a flat surface you should be perfectly fine.

Its goes above 95C and throttles itself so my brother really needs one... This is a known problem with this laptop...after stress testing the gpu runs at 99C at 160mhz clock although it should be at 670mhz and the CPU throttles itself down from 2.2Ghz to 0.8Ghz...

Well. Have you looked at the fan and seen any dust? If there is that could be slowing down the fan.

No dust... have cleaned multiple times, the problem is that fan almost never spins faster than 40% of its speed to keep the laptop quiet but that leaves a huge effect on the cooling, after few days im gonna open that laptop and make a fan controller for it so i can change it manually and you cant do it from BIOS or any PC software...

I find it hard to believe that the fan doesn't spin above 40%. If the processor is hot the fans gonna ramp up even if its in quiet mode. Plus how would you know if the fans at 40% or what the temp of the processor is. I have yet to find any software for my laptop that I have that actually tells true temps or tells the speed of the fan.

I know how it sounds at the moment when it spins at full speed, its like a vacuum cleaner and when all this happens its usually quiet.... There are several people complaining about this problem on several laptops which use this case and the same cooling...
