    Is this for use on a desktop / table, or for use in your lap? If for use in your lap, consider something like the Lapinator:

    Amazon.com: Lapinator Plus! - Blocks the heat & keeps your notebook cooler!: Electronics

    I've been using these since they first became available ~10 years ago. They're comfortable and do a nice job of keeping the heat out of where it doesn't belong (your lap, and the other bodily attributes in its vicinity!).

    I am using the Notepal U3 plus, works great on my SLI Y510P.

    Note: I did not use the USB fans included in the package but rather use a standard 120MM AC power fan which have delivers a strong airflow to the laptop.

    As the U3 plus is huge and fits the Y510p easily, I have installed 2 of the 120mm AC fans and it works great in managing heat.
