I use an ONN I picked from walmart - but its not a good fit as it may slide a bit. I will get another but I'm not familiar with any brands by name

the 3rd gen i7 was known for running hot, however this is a 4th gen so i do not know. try 1 of these if u r concerned about heat, Cooler Master NotePal U3 - Laptop Cooling Pad with 3 Movable Fansby Cooler Master. Amazon sells it for around 30 bucks, mine works great, as far as noisy i dont even hear the 3 80mm cooler fans running and i have hyper hearing

I had to order one from a separate vendor. I am glad I did. I bought a Arctic Freezer 13. It keeps the processor much cooler I have never seen my heat go over 80 f. It runs better. And quiet. But buy what you want.

Myself, I froze on this sleeping Pad. I also bought an insulated one (around $166), but I still froze. I Returned Insulated one, because I still Froze with it. Now I just use a foam pad because with the air sleeping pads - I freeze (could be just me).

I'm assuming you meant "fit" rather than "fix". The cooling pad is exactly 15" to he same width as my laptop. Yours would hang over a fraction of an inch on either size which shouldn't be too much of a problem.

It comes with a fan that already has thermal paste on it, but get another fan and another thermal paste, I had a bad experience with the stock fan and thermal paste. also don't get this, I regretted getting this, just spend another 50 on 6300 or 100 on 8320 or 8350

Sorry, I don't have my laptop and cooling pad at work, however, the fan portion is where the laptop needs the fans. On mine, a central area is covered by the largest fan, and the underside of the edges is covered by the side fans. This cooling pad is the best one that I have gotten. I hope this answers your question. I will check the dimensions of the fan portion when I get home.

Yes, I did and found it a marginal product, however, I live in south Texas and it gets SUPER hot here and I think I decided on a combination of some kind of regular frozen pad and a fan. Maybe the product would be ok where you live. It just did not feel cool enough to make a difference. Good luck.

Hi Michael,Get this cooler! It's fantastic! It only comes with 1 fan. You can buy an optional 120mm fan on the opposite side. With my 8350 idle temps are 34c. If i rip or if the processor is getting used my temps get to around 65c. That's excellent!!! The sound isn't even loud at all. It sounds like a stock fan in a store bought PC.To answer your questions. Get this fan and heat sink if you don't want water cooling. The performance is fantastic!!! No worries at all!!!

I think so. My fiancee also enjoys it. We have different chemistry, as you may guess, she prefers a fan on and to be freezing i do not. She has no issues with the Iso cool pad.

I used this cooling pad for my 17.5" laptop, and the cooling pad was slightly bigger, so I'd say yes. However, I wouldn't recommend this cooling pad, unless you couldn't find another one anywhere else, because it's pretty cheap, it has to be plugged into it's own personal outlet in order to power the fans, the fans are really loud unless you turn down their speed which makes them not very helpful, and the mini-usb socket on the cooling pad itself broke off easily when I accidentally sat down and pressed it against the arm of my couch which made the extra usb ports useless. I would only ever buy this cooling pad as a last resort. I used this cooling pad for my 17.5" laptop, and the cooling pad was slightly bigger, so I'd say yes.

The Cooler Master NotePal LapAir - Laptop Lap Desk with Pillow Cushion and Cooling Fan (R9-NBC-LPAR-GP) has a pad that hits me mid thigh to just before my knee and it's comfortable. I do not feel the need to have a cushion under the entire bottom. I still like this product and it cools VERY well. I never feel any heat.

Get a good case with good air flow. At least 6 fans. I have no issues with heat whatsoever.

You could try, though I'm not sure how much it would actually increase cooling for the laptop. This pad does more to keep the heat generated by the laptop from being felt (like when you're using your computer on your lap) than actually cool the laptop. Additionally, I'd worry that it would restrict airflow to the fan, but that really depends more on your set-up.

It is comfortably thick enough for me. I bought it for the cooling and it does seem to help! The pad is not cold but the heat seems to go down and stay at a normal temp. Good luck. A,
