Recommend A Cooling Pad for a Sager 5160

Not all cooling pads are the same and there is no such thing as one size fits all. I just ordered my first ever Sager 5160 and would like some suggestions as to what ones are a good fit for this laptop model.

Thanks.

 

I'm interested in this for the P170HM / NP8170. A nice one that props it up on my desk

 

I'd suggest just waiting until you've had a chance to use the laptop and check the temps before deciding if you need a cooling pad. If the temps don't run high and you just want a surface to put between your lap and the laptop, that could save you a bit of money versus getting an active cooling pad.

Run HWinfo or some other temp monitor before you decide if you need to spend the money

 

Okay, thanks. Never having run a Sager let alone a gaming laptop before I didn't know what to expect.

 

my 8130 doesn't even get warm. would be silly to use my cooling pad under it. (even when running FSX for extended periods)

 

I have a cooling pad under my P150HM, but with the fans turned off. The only reason I have it is because it gives it a solid surface to rest on when I'm using it out of my lap (the intake fans are on the bottom). The cooling bit is just superfluous.

 

I do woodworking, so a year or two ago, I made a number of laptop "desks" for our laptops for easy-chair usage, but I seldom move my laptop off my office desk so I've stowed all of them up in the attic. I can't ever get comfortable using a laptop in a chair on on the bed.

 

I'd like a good recommendation for on the desk solutions. I've seen some good props where it angles the laptop and it kind of works like a docking station.

 

Not the most elegant but I suppose they work haha Top 10 DIY Laptop Stands I used to use the feet that come with the Wii Fit controller to prop my laptop up.

 

Nice. Maybe I can rig something up with fans in it, might as well keep it as cool as possible
