    Hi there!

    I've just recently done the swap from desktop to gaming notebook and went with the GT70 Dominator. I'm quite impressed by the performance but it's a little hotter than I'm used to, highest temperature I've seen so far is 85C on the GPU. Would a cooling pad be beneficial for me? If so which would work best for the GT70?

    Many thanks in advance. :D

    Since it's a gaming laptop it will run hot during load.
    This temperature is pretty good already, but if you wish to feel cooler with it then use a laptop cooler to help with airflow.
