Figured i'd ask around here for more effective tech tips on air cooling a laptop. I'd prefer not to use one of those fan mats but if needs be I will, idling temps are between low 30's after just cleaning out fans and peak in the low 60s under load.

Those are great temps for a laptop under load. Mine reaches around 80c when gaming.

Thats completely normal... Those temps are actually very good for a laptop! My i7 MSI gaming laptop used to run at 85c on the CPU and 72c on the GPU whenever I was gaming and would idle at like 38-42.. That had a 6700HQ in it. My Asus i7 ultrabook (cant rember the chip) that I just got idles at like 35 and hits 70c on the cpu and gpu when playing like garrys mod! The cooling mats do help a lot and help keep the keyboard clean and get good airflow! I always use mine on the pad when at home or gaming!

Gunna have to not recommend these thou, unless u get a good seal they do not work well and can be very loud! Get a decent cooling pad I got one with 4 fans which are adjustable for like £10 on amazon and it works just fine

those temps are more than ok. generally anything under 75c would be recommended for a laptop under load
