I have a Dell inspirian Laptop 5779. It has 2 fans, with a vent at the bottom, a vent on the side and 2 vents at the back (under the screen). Hope that makes sense. When playing games it heats A LOT. I m planning on buying a cooling pad but im concerned that my laptop is designed to release out heat through ALL its vents and laptop coolers are designed to bring in cold air. Im not sure if it ll do any long term damage, but if i place the laptop on a cooler I would still have a vent on the side and 2 near the back where the heat could still escape from. Any ideas? Please post links to the purchase site if you can.
FYI: The Fans are clean and its still quite new.
