    No cooler, but I don't game much. When I did, the fan seemed to pump the hot air out pretty good.

    No cooler. No games.

    I'm an avid gamer and I've never found a need for one. At it's hottest, it only feels warm to the touch.

    No cooler ever.
    Playing games does necessitate that the computer is on a table though.

    No cooler here. When I play games the internal fan seems good enough. I don't want to carry around another thing.

    Yes.

    Coolmax NB-400.

    Simple design and works. Keeps it a little cooler during long folding@home sessions.

    I don't think you need a laptop cooler. Just run tpfancontrol and force max speed when needed.

    Like in my case with my big overclock going non-stop, my temps top at about 71-72 deg C. I use small laptop stands that I made, about half inch tall. And I play new games on it too.

    It's T61 though.
