    Hey,

    So my MSi GX640 is running really hot whenever I game so I'm looking for a cooling pad for it. Can anyone recommend a good one for the GX640? I'm trying to spend less than $30. Right now I have my eye on the Cooler Master X2.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Thank you.

    Amazon.com: Targus Lap Chill Mat AWE55US (Black with Gray): Electronics

    Hands down.

    I cannot recommend this mat enough. It's absolutely fantastic.
    When I'm out and about using my laptop, I always have at least a book under the back of it. My temps idle around high 40's, low 50's(stock paste) and at load, they are anywhere from low 60's to low 80's(not good xD)

    With the cooling mat, idles around 30-35. Load, never higher than about 42. And that's balls to the wall gaming load. Amazing difference with the mat. Highly, highly recommended.

    Notepal U3

    It work amazingly with pretty much every laptop as you can place the fan where ever u want to. It cools well and its silent too at the same time.

    Notepal U3 was $40 at Frys this weekend. It's made of aluminum too, so I approve :)
