Cooling Solutions

Sager and Clevo laptops often have several different cooling customizations offered from vendors like XoticPC and HIDevolution such as thermal grizzly kryonaut, fujipoly extreme thermal pads, or even additional copper heatsinks.

Which of these are usually most worthwhile and worth the extra price? Currently looking at a laptop, but it's $1,529 without any extra cooling-related additions, adding all of them raises the price to $1,682. ~$150 extra seems like a lot to spend on that unless there is likely to be hugely noticeable performance gains.

Grizzly Kryonaut is $45, thermal pads are $49, and the extra heatsinks are $59.

 

Fujipoly pads and kryonaut seem like the most usable options.

Additional copper heatsinks?
Don't think you will notice too much of a difference with those unless you think some components in the laptop need them.

Generally, you could save yourself some money and just ask them for Fujipoly thermal pads (you could apply Kryonaut yourself)... however, I guess the real cost is in the labor of applying those to the system (if you were to do this yourself, you'd need to get the pads that have the right thickness, although application of Thermal Paste like Kryonaut is not overtly complex -but if you're willing to spend the money, XoticPC and HIDevolution would apply both properly).
