Laptop cooling rack for Precision 7760

Looking for a passive cooling rack that would fit well and not scratch a precision 7760.

I'm thinking that if I lifted the Precision a quarter inch further off the desk it would run cooler. A test with 4 rubber grommets seems to have the SSD running 5 degrees cooler, but I need something more stable that won't scratch or dent it in any way.

 

I glue rubber feet onto all of my laptops. At the moment the last kit I bought was 11mm high.
It make a big difference.
The only laptop I don't have it on is my Latitude 7480, which has two channels with rubber feet built in to the bottom panel, and the fan never turns on except when watching >1080p videos.
The 7760 has them too, but no way are the feet high enough to allow clean airflow, they must recycle hot air again and again and suck a little air at the edges.

I don't understand "why" laptop designers feel the need to make the laptop as flat as possible?
There are holes underneath. The fans suck like a vacuum cleaner with your hand plugging the hose and not to mention convection has no way to function properly

I haven't tested elevating the laptop, but I feel like 7X60 has a pretty solid cooling design.

...Airflow is in from the bottom, and out the back. The rubber foot thing running the entire length of the back prevents hot air from being immediately sucked back up by the intake fan. Air can only get in from the sides. And just holding my hand behind the side or the back I can tell my 7560 is moving way more air through than my M6700 does.

In the Travis North interview he says that they do lots of simulation and carefully balance the system height down to tenths of a millimeter.

That said, I'd definitely be interested in hearing some tests on cooling performance "regular position" and "raised". You could check what average clock speed you can achieve under a high CPU load. (...Temperature check is not that interesting, I'd expect it to stay right near 100C no matter what if the CPU is under high load.) You might have to take steps to bypass the CPU power limits to make sure that the CPU speed is just limited by thermals, not PL1 downclocking.

Or maybe see if there is a difference in fan speed when the system is running at a consistent "moderate" load between the two positions?
