    I recently purchased a 17" dell inspiron I17RSE-3589BK.

    intel i7 3630QM 2.4GHz (with Turbo Boost up to 3.4GHz)
    NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 2GB GDDR5
    1 TB 5400RPM
    8 GB RAM DDR3

    Anyways I'm getting idle CPU temps that are around 60c, sometimes lower, sometimes higher. While under load (gaming) it gets above 70c sometimes the 80's. I haven't done any real intense gaming yet though. I'm wondering if there are any good 17inch laptop coolers out there that are fairly light and would help to elevate/cool this laptop. Perhaps a 5c change in temperature or so would be nice. Any recommendations? Also some kind of protective sleeve that is durable would be nice.
