laptop cooling Laptop cooler (cheap)

[Helo]

Hello all,

 

I've got a 5 year old gaming laptop that needs a laptop cooler to sit on, 

 

its a 17" clevo p170hm 

i7 2820 

16 GB 1600mhz RAM

Nvidia 680M 4gb GPU

intel 510 250GB SSD

not bad for 5 years 

 

I'm from the UK btw

 

any suggestions for a cheap one as a father of 3 and I'm a injuried ex serviceman so I have little money for the latest and greatest with bells a whistles 

 

thanks

Welcome to the forums.

 

If you look on amazon.com or such they should have them, but for a 5 year laptop if it is overheating, taking it apart and cleaning off the dust out of the heatsink, and replacing the thermal paste is probabbly all it needs.

Thanks for the advice however its cleaned every 6 months and thermal paste re-applied, I use MX 4 still as its the best I've used,

 

to be clear it don't over heat but to get the best performance out of the beast I would like it as cool as I can hence a laptop cooler would assist in the GPU and CPU cooling,
