Some laptops have a relatively weak cooling system. Adding to this a long service life and lack of constant maintenance, overheating can be obtained as a result. In all fairness, overheating is not always due to the lack of cleaning the air outlets and dried thermal paste. Weak models are ready to heat up immediately after starting resource-intensive programs. In this case, you simply cannot do without additional cooling.
First, you need to decide on the main technical characteristics of the cooling pad. On digital store shelves, supplemental cooling devices are categorized into two main types: active cooling stands and passive cooling supplies. Depending on the option chosen, the cost will also change.
Active cooling implies the presence of one or more coolers. Such a stand is considered the most effective in terms of heat dissipation, however, this type is less convenient in everyday life: stands that operate on the network deprive the laptop of mobility, tying it to a certain place in the apartment. And cooling pads that are connected via usb quickly drain the battery.
Choosing a stand that has two or more coolers in its arsenal, be prepared not only for good cooling, but also for the noise they make.
The principle of operation of passively cooled stands is quite simple: the device lifts the laptop case above the surface, thereby increasing air circulation. You shouldn't expect much from such cooling. In this case, the stand does not cool as much as it simply does not allow it to heat up. However, sometimes this is enough to successfully combat overheating.
You also need to pay attention to the design of the cooling pad. From the outside, the stand and the laptop will be perceived as one and it is desirable that they match each other in design.
