Y50 cooling pad

So I have just bought a coolermaster notepal xl for my y50 and while I'm gaming with this cooling pad at max it barely lowers the temperature. Anyone knows why it doesn't work and do I have to buy a pad that pushes or pulls air? This one pushes air in the vents. Thanks in advance!

A thought about cooling pads -
Cooling pads are only as effective as your room temperature. If your room temps are more than 30 C, then forget it, a normal cooling pad will mostly be useless (except from raising your laptop).
If your room temp is between 25 -30, you may see a difference of 2-3 degrees
if room temp is less than 25, you will get better results.
Now, about different cooling pads -
A bigger and faster fan is always welcome, some people also prefer the movable multiple small fans.
I have the coolermaster X2 model, which is a decent cooling pad (not great)
If you really want a difference buy something with high RPM, something greater than 1700rpm and also check how much airflow it does.
I think Cooler Master X3 or the SF-17 would be great for cooling. They are expensive but worth it.

Y50: where to put the movable fans of a cooling pad?

I've a cooling pad with freely movable 3 fans (a one like the Cooler Master U3) What I'm asking about is where to place them for the best cooling experience? Without using the cooling pad, when I play demanding games (Watch dogs, the witcher 3, etc...) On Ultra ~ High... my gpu 960m temp is ~85c ... it reached 89c once but didn't occur again... is that normal? (I didn't overclock, undervolt or anything...)

It won't make a difference for the macbook pro but if you're gonna use it anyway leave it blowing accross the keyboard, the air intakes are under it
Don't worry about the temperature until it gets to 170F. Even then your still safe but if it gets that hot constantly you need to have it checked out.

I would like to know which cooling pad will be suitable for my HP Pavilion 15-E016TX

please suggest with some compatable colling pads as per my model

Also if your working on a desktop make sure it is free of clutter so there is proper airflow around your laptop that will do more to keep your laptop running at optimim temperature. Yes it will blow hot air but that is the nature of cooling system for laptop unlike a Desktop/Tower. Always keep the ports/vents where you fans are free of clutter and stuff near it as it performs best that way. Heat remember is the enemy of laptop and blocking the vents/ports will shorten your laptop lifespan faster then it would be otherwise. I use my laptop on desk flat with the feet giving the clearance it needs and it runs fine it does give off heat but that is what you want it to do that means it is working. Now for Gaming laptop that a totally different animal it should be designed for effective cooling and if not that is a bad design and no amount of cooling pad will fix it. So keep all vents/ports on your laptop unblocked this will insure airflow dynamics work in your laptop optimum cooling. Just proping the back up with square erasures will do more then a cooling pad as that will block your latop fan from working properly as well. Now if it was a vented rack that it sits on that is even better that will insure there is plenty of air flow under the laptop to pull the air in and keep the Processor and or Video Processor properly vented.

Which cooling pad should I get for my MacBook Pro?

I have the mid 2012 Mac Pro (the $1500 one) and now it is going to get hot in my country.Like around 110F and it is 92 and my Mac is starting to get really hot.So I was thinking of which cooling pad I should get.

MacBook Pro Cooling Pad for Gaming

Ok, I'm having problems with MacBook Pro overheating when I'm playing a game and the FPS drops very low, so does anybody know the best solution for this situation?

Cooling pads will not work as there are no ports to remove hot air on the bottom of the laptop. The only vents on the macbook/macbook pro line are in the back side of the computer. As there are no cooling pads that have functions to suck hot air/flow cold air to that specific vent, all conventional cooling pads are useless. the most you will do with normal cooling pads/gaming colling pads, is possibly lower external temperature by 2 degrees at the most. unless you manage a way to function the computer without a bottom case, use a desk that has a built in liquid nitrogen colling spot, or drill holes into the bottom of your laptop, cooling pads are useless for macbook pros.
sorry to tell you this, but trust me, i've gone through this with many people and genius' and 1800 apple reps.
best advice, use your laptop in a well ventilated area and air out your vents with dust spray cans regularly.
oh and do not use on your lap. dust is composed of fibers, skin and other foreign objects. using it on your bed, your clothes, etc increases the chance of dust build up inside your computer. use on a solid surface. Glass desks (like i have) are able to disipate the heat best IMO.

Cooling pad for Mac Mini

Does anyone uses cooling pad with a Mac Mini. If so, could you please provide some suggestions? I am not looking for a bigger one, rather it should occupy minimum space and fits the mac mini. Thanks.

The devices available to allow a Mini to set on its side, appear viable if practical in
the space you have available for your gear. An older Mini I have can stay on its
side without a holder-upper; the newer one is too thin that direction to allow it.
For now, I've found that four similar height re-used items that can fit under the
corners of the Mini, keep it elevated further off the desktop, help keep it cooler.
These could be durable thermal plastic, or just cut-offs of similar shape metal
so the computer sits flat. Since the newer Mini has that round base, if you do
set up something to raise it off the surrounding surface, take that into account
because that may also add to instability should the items be dissimilar.
I'd considered, if available super cheap (at second hand store, etc) that one of
those 'aluminum food thawing trays' but square and not rectangular, may work.
It would raise the unit up, while Mini would still rest on the round base, though.
Since heat rises; the exit is in the back of the Mini, intake is around the base.
The bottom does not get all that hot, due to internal air-flow & metal conductivity.
I prefer my method of raising the entire unit up, flat, above the desk. In part this
was due to concerns of spillage of liquid near the Mini, while on a desktop. An
upside down small metal pan, or a baking rack may do, too. And I'd want to be
able to filter dust from all air going into the Mini - without restricting the flow, too.
Anyway, other than one of the command-line tests to run up all the cores at once
to test it, there isn't much I've done to make a quad-core reach top temperatures.
Hopefully yours works OK and doesn't get near the thermal maximum...

W520 on Series 3 Mini-Dock - Cooling Pad?

Does anyone have a good solution for a cooling pad which integrates well with the W520 attached to the Series 3 Mini-Dock (170Watt)? Did a search on cooling pads for this configuration and couldn't find a solution. I just received my new W520 and will be doing heavy duty video editing and transcoding professionally. I'm not sure I'll need the cooling pad but looking for solutions just in case I do. Thanks.

Hi, djones18
Normally, people would not use cooling pad with a more reliable business grade laptops, unless it is really necessary for your workload or any issue with the system.
If you are doing heavy duty video editing and transcoding, you can try push the internal fan to the maximum first with TPFanControl. Set Manual and Fan Speed to 64.
http://www.staff.uni-marburg.de/~schmitzr/donate.html
The Fan would be louder, but your machine would be way cooler. However, after your work, set back Fan Speed to BIOS. As running the highest fan speed all the way would make the fan worn out faster.
If it still very hot even with the highest fan speed, you could try to get a mid-range to high-end cooling pad, but I am unsure how effective it is.
Cheers
Peter

Has anyone tried a 3rd party laptop cooling pad?

I have had my macbookpro 2.16 for about 2 1/2 weeks now, temp averages at about 40c during what i normally do, but the base of it is still too hot to comfortablly use on my lap. I have been using a large book as a buffer for the heat, recently I saw some 3rd party cooling pads with fans in them, running of USB power, has anyone tried one?

I use Vantec Lapcool 4. It folds and quite small for transporting (fits nicely into my bag). It uses 2 fans powered either by USB or by AC. Also adds 4 USB ports.
It makes about 10C defference. Since it keeps the case cooler and MBP doesn't build up heat like it used to, so works quite well.
The only con I've found is that the MBP slips a bit on the pad so I bought a package of small, clear, self-adhiesive, non-slip rubber cushions to put on the bottom of the lappad (~$2@Home Depot). Now MBP sits securely without any slippage.
Mac OS X (10.4.6)

Which cooler pad is good for MBP 13 inch 2011?

some people said that altaz cooling pad is good. but i see that thermapak is also better. i don't know what must I choose for my MBP 13 inch.. any suggestion whcih one is better?

I personnally use the CoolMaster NotePal X2. I bought this one because of the great location of the fan and how it fitted my Mac. I use it for my MacBook Pro 15 inch and fits perfectely.
The MacBook Pro 13 inch will also fit but you'll see the borders of the fan.
Anyways, here's the link on Amazon.com (I think they can deliver in Malaysia):

Cooling Pads - Compatible with MSI Gaming Notebooks

Hi,
I purchased a MSI GT70 Dominator. I also purchased a cooling pad as gaming tends to warm systems up and thus increase the likelihood of system problems.
I was excited as both arrived within a couple days of each other. I sat the notebook on the cooling pad and was saddened to see that it skated around on top if it, no grip at all.
On the underside of the Dominator there are additional support feet and ridges at the back of the system around the fan vent on the bottom. Those interfere with the four rubber feet's ability to grip the surface of the cooling pad.
My question is whether anyone has been successful in locating a compatible cooling pad for use with the GT70 Dominator, or any other similar MSI systems.
Thanks!

I hand built my own cooling pad/dock for my GT70. Works great, even in the most demanding games with everything turned up (and seriously overclocked) I barely ever get to 70C, and usually top out at 65C.

What is the best cooling pad for a MacBook Pro

I use the laptop in a variety of settings. It gets really hot on my lap and was wondering if anyone has used a cooling pad they like for this problem.

I'm sure someone will jump in with the best of the best. FWIW the MBP is not a laptop it is a notebook. And as you've probably read in your User Guide does not belong on your lap.

Should i but a cooling pad for my Macbook Pro with Retina display 15 inch?

Getting really hot

Cooling pads don't do enough as they only effect the bottom of the machine and the heat is being generated inside and radiates upwards.
First you might have a hardware problem.
1: Do a Hardware Test #3
Step by Step to fix your Mac
and write down what it says if anything, that will tell if there is a dead sensor or fan.
2: Consider taking it in for a free evaluation at Apple
3: Look at your CPU usage in Activity Monitor (Utilities folder) if there are any runaway processes.
4: Uninstall always on anti-virus, Apple installed one for all 10.6-10.8 Mac's. Use ClamXav for Windows malware.
5: Decrease the rooms ambient temperature with a air conditioner, what this will do is draw cool air into the machine and be about 1000% better than cooling pads ever could be.
6: Decrease the use of heavy CPU or GPU using software.

Best cooling pad for Macbook pro 15" with retina (2013)?

Hi,
I have a Macbook pro 15" with retina display, bought in 2013 and I started playing Starcraft on the machine. It becomes extremely hot, almost unbearable to touch and after searching online, I've been told that overheating of macs is relatively common. It is also extremely noisy. Firstly, is this something that I should be worried about, i.e. is it normal? (it is still under warranty) Also, I was looking to get a cooling pad- which one would you recommend? I couldn't find many macbook pro w/ retina display specific ones, so I thought maybe a generic laptop cooling pad?
There are so many to choose from and I don't know where to start! Perhaps the Cooler Master NotePal X3?
Thank you for your help!

is it normal?
Is the game rated for the GPU on the Mac (look at the game's specs)? If not, then I would not run it on that Mac.
If it is rated for the GPU on the Mac, then no, it is not normal, and I would have the machine looked at, after running the hardware test that came with it.
See my tip about MacBook Pro heat:
kmb kmbp: How to deal with MacBook Pro and MacBook heat?
The GPU is the Graphics Processor Unit.
A cooling pad might help, but it might also mask a more serious problem. I've used this cooler on Powerbooks before:
http://www.amazon.com/Antec-Notebook-Cooler-USB-Powered/dp/B0000BVYTV
But only outside warranty. Mind you, because of the heat, sometimes some of the darker markings on the edge of the cooler and come off on the bottom of the notebook. Hence why I would only use it outside of warranty, since such marks may make the AppleCare representative think you might have done something to damage it.

What's best is relative to your expectations. In my opinion, you don't need one.

Best Cooling Pad for Desktop Use

If anyone has an opinion, please weigh in. I'm curious if anyone has ever used one of those many laptop cooling pads/mats out there. I'm considering buying one for desktop use with my 17" MBPro. When running intense apps for hours on end (FCS, Adobe everything, StarCraft 2) I occasionally push it to the brink of freezing and nothing will save it except a hard-reset.
So if you've ever purchased/used on of these, which are the best? Consider price to be no object. Thanks!
Chris

@Scott - Been in post-production a long time friend. Laptops are everywhere. Get with the future.
@MacMedic - Thanks for the recommendation, I'll definitely be looking in to it.
@Lyssa - It's only been recently that my Mac has been having the over-heating issues. I'm thinking it's just a combination of getting old and summer months with no A/C. With regard to my specs you're somewhat close. It's the MacBookPro2,1; Introduced October 2006 discontinued June 2007 and I was unfortunate enough to have purchased mine April 2007 shortly before they were phased out. It has the 2.33GHz Core-2 Duo with 3GB of Memory.
Used to run all my programs just fine with the fans kicking into overdrive, but lately things just get sluggish when it's hot. I typically only have one program running at a time, occasionally two (like Final Cut and After Effects) but not for long periods of time. With the exception of StarCraft 2 the amount of free ram is still in the 100's and I've got just over 100GB free on a 500GB HDD. It's not slow for things like Word Processing, Browsing the web (unless I run into something Flash based in Safari ha ha) or doing Mail.
Anyway, thanks for all the help. Keep the suggestions coming in.
