I have a Thinkpad L440 that I use as a daily driver. I was looking for a laptop fan cooler, but I don’t know if a fan base that just pours air from below is the most ideal, considering that the hot air comes out of the fan from the left side.
Is there some fan that might attach to the side and helps put cool air in the vent? Does that exist? Does that make sense?
Anyway, If what I say is nonsense, what fan cooler do you recommend for using with my laptop?
It will help a lot of considering that gets a bit hot while gaming, so I play for about one hour or 2, unless the game is pretty low weight like Half Life.
Oh good, glad to hear it. Yeah, for a laptop with discrete GPU while gaming, 82c as an average temp is totally normal. If it starts frequently getting above 95c, it’s time for another repaste. You’re good to go homie. Don’t wast your money on a cooler pad, you won’t see any meaningful different in your thermals if your machine is already on a hard flat surface. The only way I could see them being worth any amount of money is if you actually use your laptop on your lap, or in bed, just to prevent any restriction of airflow.
