Cooling pads for laptop

[Mitrediablo]

Hi ive ordered a laptop to game with and want to buy a cooling pad to help with the heat i was wondering if anyone knew of a good reliable cooling pad. Alot of the ones ive looked at people have said ive had 3 this year or its very loud or isnt very good at cooling.

Any suggestions to a good cooling pad for a 15 inch laptop

Welcome to AT!

Wait untill you get your laptop in before picking a cooling pad. See where it gets hottest on the bottom (usually the battery and where the laptop vents heat out, YMMV) and buy a cooling pad with appropriate fan(s) location(s).

There was a comparo of notebook coolers posted somewhere recently - your fave search engine could probably turn it up quickly. As plaid says - knowing where your hotspots are will help in choosing the appropriate one.
