    Hey all,

    I'm looking for a cooler for 13" laptop.
    Cooling for when I want to play games on the laptop.

    My budget isn't huge. It's about £25-£30 UK Pounds (I think that's like... roughly $40-$50 USD?).

    Thanks!

    First of all, see where the fans/vents are located on the bottom of your notebook. Then, try to find a pad that closely matches those locations. 13 inches is an odd size, so you may end up getting a 15 inch model cooler. Although you are in the UK, try looking through Newegg.com since they have a lot of reviews, then see if you can find the one that works locally.

    check if it's cheaper to replace the thermal paste instead of a cooler as it would lower your temps much more than what an aftermarket cooler can provide.
