laptop CPU cooling

Is upgrading a cpu cooler in a laptop worth trying? and if so will doing that reduce the cpu usage?

There are not really any commercial solutions to upgrade the CPU cooler in a laptop. They're usually proprietary. Most you can do is upgrade the thermal paste and maybe place the laptop on a desk cooling pad with fans to help temperatures out a bit.

Do you want it to still be a laptop? If so, the only thing you can do is replace the thermal paste. This won't improve performance at all if you're already running full turbo speed. If you want to do a fun DIY laptop into desktop project then you can slap a huge cooler on that baby and overclock.

no, unless you don't mind the laptop being stuck to a desk.

if the clock speeds go up thanks to extra cooling and the amount of work per unit time stays the same, then yes

You may find that more difficult than it initially seems. Good luck
