    Just bought a new laptop, Asus F8Va. I use it mainly for work (MS Office apps) and occasional gaming. Its on roughly 16 hours a day. Lucky for me this computer is build to stay cool and only gets just a little warm.

    Is it warrant enough to use a laptop cooler? If so, which brand/model is best for the Asus F8Va? Thanks for your advice.

    Why will you use a laptop cooler if it only gets just a little warm? I have F8Va-C1 and I have never seen that it got overheat...

    No, but with this very heavy use pattern you'd better clean it out every 6 months or so to keep the radiator/fan/etc clean or it's going to start clogging up and then you really have a problem when the temps skyrocket..... See sticky thread here for fuller description of the effect.
