How well do cooling pads work?

So, a month or so ago, I bought the Acer Predator Helios 300 (2018).

And well, it's getting hot. Most games are in the 80s range, with some games even at 90 + °. At Assassin's creed odyssey it was 95 ° on average and also reached 98 ° max (after 30 min of play)

Now I'm told that this does not affect the lifetime of my laptop, and that I have to worry and yet, I'm worried.

So I wanted to buy a cooling pad. However… I have a couple of questions about how a cooling pad works. Does it really work? I mean, then you have cooler in the laptop and under the laptop, both cool. Does not this rather knock off the laptop instead of cooling it? Then air is also swept from top to bottom, and from bottom to top. Does that bring anything? And anyway, the cooling pad and laptop does not even have room for airflow.

So I'm really not an expert or connoisseur, as far as siwas concerned, but bab just meune Bedenk. I would be extremely grateful for explaining, (warning) warnings and experiences.

As good as not at all, could never detect more than 1-2 ° C difference. You should have a look at GPU and CPU undervolting, as it saves a lot of degrees. At 98 degrees I would worry already o.o

Have already tried undervolting with core voltage offset -0,12. Has not done anything effectively

What can you say now, SORRY blame yourself… Gaming and laptop does not fit at all… But everyone knows it better and always buy themselves a cheese.

I have a cooling pad on my older second laptop (a Fujitsu Lifebook T-901) in operation. It pushes the air into the lower cooling slots, which is very effective (Without a cooler, this laptop also likes to reach around 85 degrees, and that on an i5-2520 for rPGA.)

Have you ever had the cooling system checked by Acer?
Nevertheless: Who wants to gamble really powerful, should fall back on a stand PC. You also get more for your money.
