For your desk or lap? Really, you shouldn't need one though...

sorry laptop and it sits on a desk.

its 4 years old the last 2 its had heat problems when playing games the screen goes black and it basicly acts like its in perm stanby i have to power it down and back up.

The cheap 10$ mat i bought 2 years ago worked fine for the last 2 years but the last few weeks the system been over heating again ( turn the mat upside down and blowing air into vents on the bottom helps with older games like wow and lfd2) but the new dungeon defenders over heats it in 5m.

Lots of articles seem to point to the NX Cryo, or whatever it's called.

No guarantees! Make sure you have a return policy.

One of the few cooling pads the actually pull in air from the sides very well.

Have you or anyone else made any attempts to repair the heat issue? Do the fans need cleaning or replaced?
