    i know that this baby doesn't need cooling pad and probably won't do much
    but i found like 2 pads lighting blue and i thought they were awesome and i want to share it with you guys and ask your opinion
    which one would be better for cooling for the G73JH
    1 bigger fan
    or 3 small fans

    this is the first one

    What brands are they? They look like cheap cooling pads that'll have absolutely no effect on the beast. Get a CoolerMaster sf-19 if you want a useful cooling pad. Supposedly real good. I'm looking at one myself. Either that or a zalman nc3000.

    yes they are cheap to be more precise Chineese
    the plastic may be cheap but what is the difference compared with the fans ?
    can you give some specifications on your zalman
    so one big fan would blow more air right ?
    this is the specification on the first one

    Material ABS plastic
    Size 300mm * 330mm * 42mm
    Fan speed 5400 rmp
    Maximum Noise 25dBA
    Rated voltage DC 5V
    Air Flow 30CFM
    Effective power <0.9 W
    Rated current <180 mA

    If you see so much as a 2 degree difference in temperatures with a fan, let me know.
