My envy 14 overheats like crazy everytime I play a demanding game like diablo 3 and i was looking for a fan/cooler. What is the best fan/cooler available for envy 14 and what do you guys recommend? I did some research online, but i'm clueless when it comes to fans/coolers. Any help would be appreciated and thank you in advance.
P.S. - I tried to post a similar post earlier, but something got messed up and it came up empty. I would appreciate it if the admins could delete these two posts:

You'd have to order any "nice" cooler online. All it really does is add a big fan, the difference in quality is usually build-quality and noise -- although fan placement does factor in as well. I'd go to a local Target/Walmart/Best Buy and pickup a cheap one to test and return to see if you like the results. -

I've noticed that setting the cpu speed to 95% in the power settings has helped keep my temperatures down.
Not been much of an effect on games from this. Used to be getting in the 90s Celsius on some games and now I'm maxing around 75/76 or so celsius -

Make your way into the power options for windows get to advanced options go down to the processor power management section and set maximum processor state to 95%.
It's been working pretty well. Need to keep my eye on it a bit more though. It does probably lower my fps a bit for some games (but not much more than 3 or 4 or so at the absolute most. And that is probably an overestimate. Probably more like 1 or 2 at most.)
