I paid $20 for the Marvo FN-30 cooling pad. Do cooling pads work as good as the vacuum fans that attach to the vents?
>Cooling pads
Granted mine isn't an informed judgment, as i've never used nor have i ever given much thought to the physics of its operation, but i always dismissed cooling pads as being nothing more than an easy money meme accessory sold to gullible customers. I have literally never had any issues with overheating laptops.

I don't know what "vacuum fans that attach to the vents" are, but regarding cooling pads:
>It depends on the air intake design of your laptop (some laptops don't take air from the bottom)
>They can take down ~5°C from the maximum temperature
>Their main benefit is that they provide a steady flow of fresh air
If you place a laptop on a flat desk, the desk will heat up over time. Because the air intake is very close to the desk the air it takes is already heated up from the hot desk. This causes the internal temperatures to rise as well.
>Another benefit of a cooling pad is that it can also lower idle temperatures meaning the internal fan won't kick in as often possibly never on some laptops depending on their configuration.
>Last but not least a cooling pad provides an upgrade in ergonomics, raising the screen higher, closer to the eye level.

As long as you laptop isn't an ancient dust relic or a gaymun laptop, you don't need one.

I've never heard of a vacuum fan that attaches to laptop vents but everything I've heard about laptop cooling pads suggests that you just need to put air under your laptop so any stand that elevates it, with or without fans will do about the same. My experience has confirmed this. I have a laptop with air intake on the bottom, right where my cooling mat fans hit it and on or off it still makes no difference. Just that its there is the only thing influencing core temp.

You just described 99% of /g/'s laptops.

False, laptops really need circulation. Overheating wears parts down. I recently had a new motherboard installed that cost me $230. I have a toshiba satellite L655d

Sure thing, kiddo.

I literally do the same exact thing right now in the same exact position but that will give me more space for a mouse and what not and I do not have any of the problems you mentioned

Tell me about it, one of the worse experiences I've had with laptops desu. the Acer Aspire it replaced was less of an issue then current Toshiba satellite

Are you kidding? Find a fucking big plank of wood and make a desk, don't actually pay money for something like that. Hell go find a piece of wood for your lap, no need to pay for shipping and handling just to avoid splinters

I bought one a few years back when I had an Hp that would over heat for reasons I never understood. Now I use it as a fan during summer by plugging it into a usb power jack.

I used to use an old keyboard compartment out of my desk like the plank in that picture. I hate t o say it but he is right, my right knee took 4 months or so to recover and my quads hurt too. This will fuck up your knees homeboy, so just stick to a desk.
