Mistake Help! Laptop TOO HOT!

Could someone please reccomend some nice laptop cooling pads under 30$? My laptops starts getting really hot when I use it for a while and I would like to solve that problem before something bad happens. For now I was wondering If elevating my laptop would help. Like putting some wood blocks under it to help the air flow.

Re: Help! Laptop TOO HOT!

yup that could help. i got my Targus cooling pad for less than $20 at BestBuy but that was during a sale i think

clean the vents and heatsink if you have not done so yet. i would usually open my unit up and clean the insides as well as reapply thermal compound. this always worked for me.
