Zro Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Don't put it on a soft surface eg bed. When playing at home, better remove the batteries and just use the power cable to keep it running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And any good heat sync and ventilation can go to waste on laptops being used on bed. So it's not good idea to use laptops on bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shagger Posted August 15, 2020 Share Posted August 15, 2020 (edited) Surprised I haven't replied to this topic yet, but I'd suggest something like these, A Cooling Stand A cooling lap pad I actually own both of these exact models (She uses the lap pad and I use the stand typically). They do help. The stand is more efficient because it gives the laptop more open space with more air so the hot air from the cooling ducks is dispensed very easily, but of course you really need a flat, sold surface like a table to place it on, you can't really use this on your lap or a bed. The lap pad is a great alternative if you use your laptop on your lap or on a bed quite allot because it makes a warm laptop more comfortable to use on your lap and doesn't allow heat to reach and build up on a mattress or cloth. So both recommended. These are the links to these exact model of lap pad and stand on the UK Amazon store, but there's many different models out there to choose from.

I mean, keeping the laptop from burning your leg off and bursting into flames. I haven't ever owned a gaming laptop but I do know that it is a pain to keep them cool. Has anyone here figured out a practical way to keep your laptop moderately cool? Gaming Laptops aren't supposed to put on your lap, on the bed, or anywhere that blocks the ventilation. There are ways, however, to prevent overheating of the computer. One of which is investing in a Laptop Cooling Pad, which is cheap to buy and could prevent damage to the hard drive.

skyfire Posted August 24, 2020 Share Posted August 24, 2020 That touchpad based cooling stand sounds cool. I wonder if it is easily replaceable in case of the damaged touchpad. because that would be harder to find in most parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
