    Ive just bought a gaming laptop, the MSI GT70 894 and i noticed the temperature raises a lot while I play Dota 2. So i bought a cooling pad, the CoolerMaster X3. However, the cooling pad did not solve the problem. I noticed my laptop is not flat in the bottom, it has some kind of round supportslegs in the corners and I think this might be making the air flow not reach the laptop. Is it supposed to be like this? Or should the air get in touch with the computer directly? Does anyone else uses an MSI gaming laptop with a cooling pad?

    Yeah mine is around that temperature also. Don't you think it's a little high? But the problem is after a couple of minutes the games starts becoming slow. I've had problems like that on a desktop that was overheating.
