HP stream passive cooling

[Silentprototipe]

So my HP stream has passive cooling for its low power CPU. But since im going to play games that probrably will hammer my laptop im worried about temps for the CPU and battery. Is there any way to cool it without relying on the surface of my desk?

Notebook cooler?

It really won't get that hot. Those are very low power cpus.

I'm not familiar with what CPUs the HP streams have, but it's the ULV chips e.g. 6500U, it will get very hot. Not sure about the M series or anything lower because those aren't relevant to me personally. 

 

If it's a U series chip, get a notebook cooler. that's the best you'll do.

These are 4w atom chips.

Not sure what games you'll be playing on one of those godawful laptops but the CPU overheating is unlikely.

Well when I leave it running some CPU intensive application the plastic on the bottom starts to get that small hint of burnt plastic. Only if you get up close though
