Most laptop have plastic bottom which is not intended to radiate the heat.

Raising the laptop abit will result similar effect.

Someone made a review about this.

Hello, I was thinking to buy a laptop cooling pad but I wasn't sure if it really makes any difference to the laptop temp or help in dissipating the heat quicker, I would like to know if it's gonna be useful in any way...

it can help to some degree, but it's still a band aid on a deep cut.

Well, I thought it could prevent or prolong the deep cut happening in future..😄

i would say it entirely depends on the design of the laptop, ie how big the intakes are and how good the laptop fans are.

 

I used to use a cooling pad but found that it did next to nothing, maybe a few celsius different while idling when the fans are off, when the fans spin up, it was no different

Thanks for sharing this video, mate..It was just what I needed..Seems like just using a stand or rising the laptop will be quite sufficient than spending money on fancy coolers, isn't it? And yes, the design of laptop matters too but the I think for most simply rising the laptop will do the job.

Right, it depends on the placements of the fans and how big they are..
So, I guess it's better I use simple stand rather than cooling pads, no? 😄

I would disassemble the back of the laptop, remove the heatsinks and replace the thermal paste. Investing in some good thermal paste like Thermal grizzly cryounaut would-be worth it. I would even go as far as using liquid metal paste in like Coollaboratory Liquid Ultra that scenario.

 

Also clean the fan and outtakes from dust.
