    Hello,
    I have a Lotus P151HM1 (malibal) and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for a notebook cooler (brand model etc).

    CoolerMaster SF-19, USB 3.0 Version.

    Overkill though, unless you're doing some seriously dangerous overclocking.

    What sort of temps are you seeing? I like the cooler Mr. Mysterious mentioned because it has a built in USB 3.0 hub, but I haven't actually needed a cooler for my P150HM at all.

    If you're seeing temps under 70-75C, it may not be worth it to get a cooler.

    Wow. That is... interesting looking.

    What do you recommend for only moderately dangerous overclocking?

    to the OP - This forum is rife with examples of the superior cooling of Clevo/Sager.

    You may need only a hard, flat surface if you want to use it on your lap.

    Thank you, I was playing Fallout New Vegas, and sometimes i was peaking at 72C, So i gave it some thought to invest in a cooler

    It's not really very necessary, unless you have very high ambient temperatures. The P151HM has incredible airflow and cooling, I've never gone anywhere near 80C while gaming.


    That's well below the thermal threshold for the components inside, the CPU and GPU typically shut themselves off at 100-105C. You should be fine without a cooler.

    Those temps are definitely not worth worrying about if that's all you see under load. If you were to pass 80-85, it might be worth getting a cooler and 95+ would be RMA time.
