Popcan Posted November 21, 2023 Share Posted November 21, 2023 Anyone have any recommendations for a cooling pad? I currently am running a Cooler Master Notepad U3 without fans. Removed the fans a while back when I got it for my Alienware 17in (ranger) I found the fans to do nothing for the overheating cpu. I still have the fans beating around somewhere, I thought about trying them out on the m18 but thought maybe there was something better out there. Thanks all!

It is a stupid for a number of reasons and this is one of them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
