    Hi everyone,

    Does anyone have a nice laptop cooler to suggest for the A15 R3 to use when I travel in countries where the temperature often goes around 40°C? Preferably with a nice design :)

    Thank you!

    Hi, I´m using coolermaster Ergostand at home https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003GCQ1YI (but my AW15R3 was sent back due to heat issues) .

    But not that nice for travelling as it´s pretty large, would preffer to just put some books or something where it stand stable under the back side of the notebook so that it flips a little more up, that will increase airflow and usually would help.

    One question offtopic: you had similar config that i had, and you´re not running into heat issues? And you can use barely overclock the 6820HK without shutdowns and "speed dropping low" ? If so, when you´ve placed the order?

    I also use Ergostand Lite and Ergostand III. The Lite is slightly smaller so the 15 R3 is a little over the edge on both sides but it's alot more portable than the Ergostand III which I use as a mini hub/port replicator until I decide to get an Alienware Graphics Amplifier.

    I put my 960 evo ssd box underneath by the back side of the laptop, it raised it 2 inches above ground and used hwinfo64 to manual set the fan to 2500 rpm, dropped my temps by 7C or so
