Heating pad

So I’m having trouble with thermals on my laptop which I know for a gaming laptop is expected. I have a pretty crappy cooling pad right now. How much difference will a decent to high end cooling pad make. Are we talking 5 degrees or we talking more. Cause I’m looking at some that have different highs adjustments and a decent about of fans with fan settings speeds. Just curious if the difference.

Cooling pads don't work. Don't waste your money. Blowing air under the laptop does nothing.

Even with intake on the bottom?

In a lot of cases they don't do a whole lot, and if you've already got one then it should be fine. Is the heatsink inside the laptop clean?

Ya it’s a fairly new laptop. Dell said the cpu is rated at 100 and can perform fine like that but I know good and well running at those temps for long amounts of times can take life off it.

Ya I thought so too. I’ve seen where top end ones can make up to a 12 degree temp change.

So what temps are you actually seeing ? Because you never said it.
What are you doing to reach these temperatures and is it while gaming, or while running a highly unrealistic synthetic stress test ?
