Would a cooling fan/pad help?

I am having trouble with lagging while playing games. When the fan on my laptop (HP pavilion dv1680us) shuts off, I immediately start to lag. Also, the computer gets extremely hot after about 5 mins of having it on. I was wondering if a cooling fan/pad would help my situation, especially with the lag and if so, what kind is recommended for my computer.

Thank you in advance for your response.

Re: Would a cooling fan/pad help?

Cooling pads are recommended to those you wish to play games on their laptops. Laptops don't have sufficient cooling when its been used for gaming so they easily overheat.
Check this page out for some laptop cooling pads.
