My laptop overheats, What kind of cooling pad should I buy?

2017-07-31 4:29 am
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.

A cooling pad may not help unless you clean out the cooling vent and fans. If those are clogged, no cooling pad will help - it will just delay the overheating shutdown a little bit...

It cannot exhaust air unless some of the vents are drawing air_in_..

The commonest place for the inlets is underneath.
If I've found the correct picture, the inlets are the two squarish grids underneath on that model.


With it shut down completely, blow hard as you can into each of the other vents. The heat dissipating fins in a laptop are usually spaced very close together and easily get clogged with dust over the inside edges, causing excess heat built up.
Blowing back in to the exhausts can dislodge and break up the dust mats that form, improving cooling without dismantling the computer.

Some very short blasts of "canned air", working along each set of fins in the outlets, would not hurt - but do not allow it to spin the fans up fast, it can damage them; keep the bursts very short and wait a few seconds between.

That blowing clear should be done monthly.


This is an inside view of the machine; you can see the fans & the fine spaced fins in each of the air outlets around the back & side of the machine:

And this is what happens if you do not regularly blow out the heatsink fins - the dust builds up to clog things completely:

Are you playing with the laptop plugged into power and on a hard flat surface? Have you cleaned out the vents/fans?

You need to take the back off remove the blowers and get the dust plug out.

Also look at task manager to determine if something is running your cpu at more than 25 percent at ide and if so reinstall windows
