    My laptop stay on desk all time so I made new shoes from hard black rubber for each corner.I raise laptop 1/4".You can see factory shoes in the middle of laptop.New shoes are not glued ,just tight fit.Temp drop is around 5-7C and my desk is no longer warm.

    I made cooler but I just find out that I don't like when laptop seat so high on cooler.

    I took 8 poker cards, fowed em to 1/4th the size, and taped 4 of such cards on top of each other. I used those 2 'fowed-pokercard-blocks' for months untill I finaly bought my laptop cooler (logitech, with 1 fan), which raises my cpu temperature by 10 celcius instead of dropping the temperature xD.
