Best cooling pad for 2014 razer blade 14"?

[AmirMC]

Hey,
I've recently purchased the new razer blade and it's getting a little too hot for my liking. what would you guys recommend as the best form of external cooling? i know most of them are cheap rubbish, but i'm wondering if anyone happened to come across a fan pad or something that would be good for the blade, given that the air intake is underneath the laptop. (seriously, why don't they learn from that?) I'm fine with it being a usb connection, but considering that it will be permanantly chilling at my work station and the blade only has 3 USB ports, i'd rather something with an A/C power adapter. P.s i live in Australia. Thanks heaps.

Thermaltake and cooler master make some decent ones

 

I use one at home on my little laptop, works great. for my m18x I use a laptop riser from ikea for £3 and drilled holes in it

What is your budget?

doesnt linus have adverts on his videos for a laptop cooler?

 

it has a 17cm fan and a 4 ports USB hub if im not mistaken

Keep in mind that the Blade uses its aluminum shell as a partial heatsink, it does get quite warm.

No budget really, just looking for good design and laptop compatability. don't want to spend 100 dollars for a pad thats fans run in the opposite direction to the blade though, haha

yeah, that's what initially made me come to the forums. although the one advertised on his latest video, is too big for the razer. i only want something small, like 15".

yeah, i was looking at the cooler master U2 notepal. it's the right colour and alluminum body with movable fans. only downside is the usb only power connection. Although, it does act as a 2.0 usb power jack, which isn't perfect cause i'll be scaling down from the razer's 3.0. but surely the deathadder wouldn't make a difference, right?

regarding the cooling, should i buy the cooler which able to flow air upward towards the bottom of laptop or the one blow the air exhaust from the laptop. since only part i can see is grill bottom the laptop. 

wonder where the intake n exhaust for this laptop. please advise.

Yeah, using your mouse in a USB 2.0 port shouldn't make a difference.

 

The U2 is a pretty decent cooling pad, and I wish more laptops made it easier to move the fans around so that they're positioned right under the intake vents. I bought one myself, but I've since moved to a 17" laptop, so it's just collecting dust right now. If there's one drawback I can think of, it's that the angle is steep. There's rubber on the corners so that your laptop is less likely to slide down, and I'd imagine with a Razer Blade, it's light enough to be okay. Still, with my previous 14" laptop, I had to stack a bunch of cardboard under the front end of the cooling pad because the angle was so ridiculous for my (relatively) heavy laptop.
