I play 24/7 on an Acer laptop. I got myself a cooler 1 week after I got the laptop for a better performance. It improves your performance by lots. If you aren't planning on getting yourself a PC for gaming, then at least get a cooler or the laptop will burn sooner or later.
I personally use the CoolerMaster NotePalX2, really cheap and effective. If you can afford it, you can get the CoolerMaster NotePalX3, which is the newest version. LOL NO
BEST COOLER EVAR!!!! On a serious side, you can get something like these: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_o...trksid=m570.l1313&_nkw=laptop cooler&_sacat=0
I never used laptop coolers from coolermaster myself but I used the cheap china ones... it served me well for a few months which was good enough for 3-4 quid.
I've had my CoolerMaster one for almost 3 years now and it's running perfectly fine. I'm telling you CoolerMaster are the best ones because I'm a laptop gamer.
How much was it? If you are not using a gaming laptop you are not a laptop gamer Gaming laptops don't need external cooling anyway.
That really depends, to be on the safe side you should get one anyways. It was around 20€. My laptop handles BF3 and most modern games on med with the cooler.
just saying these ones are horrible http://gyazo.com/f14abfacd02104fc027f9f289c35f0cb dont fit any normal sized laptop and are so flimbsy the fans got squashed under my laptop
The most cost-effective solution to over heating problem would be to let your loptop to have some good airflow.
