Alexander. Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 (edited) Hi there, a question for all the PC gamers on VGR Forum. What do you use and how much did you pay for the cool component in your PC? I use the built in Laptop Cooler and use Acer Nitro Sense to adjust the settings when needed.

skyfire Posted March 9, 2019 Share Posted March 9, 2019 I wanted to buy the cooler for laptop because I was keeping the laptop on the glass. But then in built cooler worked out. I'd recommend making use of the cooler if you plan on keeping the laptop on wood, glass and some other specific objects which can have heat issues. So that's something we have to check out as well.

killamch89 Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 I bought my laptop cooler on eBay for about $13 dollars and it has served me well for the 3 years that I've had it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skyfire Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 There are some models with 5 fans attached to it. And they can be pretty much good coolers. So you can try them out in case if you get a lot of heat from the laptop. I would say you should consider keeping the room on cold temperature usually and avoid keeping the laptop on bed just to be on safe side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incidentally, mine has 5 fans and it does cool pretty well...Are you spying on me? 🤣 In all seriousness, for $15 dollars, this was a very worthwhile investment and has lasted for 3 years.

skyfire Posted April 21, 2019 Share Posted April 21, 2019 I think price wise that seems like a good product. I have also tried to look at the software solutions. but I don't have anything big running on my laptop with some strong background process, so software cooling is not much worth looking into.

skyfire Posted April 24, 2019 Share Posted April 24, 2019 Indeed. And the thing is that having some sort of vaccum cleaner can also help out with the cooling around the PC or the laptop. So cooler fan and the vaccum cleaner are two good investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still don't really trust the vacuum cleaner method - I can kind of see the logic behind it but a part of me thinks it is dangerous to do something like that plus having to periodically stop playing just to vacuum out the hot air breaks my concentration during gaming.

skyfire Posted February 9, 2022 Share Posted February 9, 2022 It can be useful but overall I have been moving towards the cleaning cans for laptops. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
egghead Posted April 7, 2022 Share Posted April 7, 2022 I have never used external cooler. I place my laptop on a hard surface, mostly cardboard or glass while using. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Alex showed us the type of PC cooler is using and how he adjust it to serve his PC better, which helps to cool the heat down. This softwares are so essential, which helps to reduce the lag that PCs suffers due to overheating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
