So that it doesn't run too hot? Could you do that reasonably (please only answer that from people who know their way around) and what could you take?

OK. May you stay your secret.
These "cool pads" are not worth mentioning. They only add swirled air and are often counterproductive. If you want to have lower temperatures, clean the cooling system (or have it) and lift the laptop a little at the back so that it can suck in more air. I have a thin wooden strip (approx. 1-1.5cm thick) that extends over the entire width of the device. Depending on the season, this can mean up to 10 ° C…
Here please
I once had a colleague who put his laptop on cold packs so he could play Call of Duty. There was no other way. There was some condensation, but that didn't cause any problems. Without this action, the computer boiled after a few minutes.
There are also laptop pads with fans. But either the battery on the USB port is empty or they have to be plugged into a power supply. I had already had bad experiences with this, because the laptop actually got warmer with the pad. I then noticed that the fans on the surface were pushing the cooling air that the laptop with its own fan was blowing downwards back into the laptop.
Then your colleague had another problem somewhere when the device got so hot. I think cleaning the cooling would not have been wrong.
It was only a few weeks old. (The laptop, not the colleague.) But the laptop wasn't suitable for gaming. With this game the computer was at its performance limit.
It's kind of strange anyway. Ok, with 15 "devices it can be a little different, I use (since I don't have / do not need a PC) 17 inch devices ^^
OK - the ice pack number is from 2003. Many laptops were only intended for work, but not for play.
So that energy is not wasted pointlessly twice, don't you have a friend who is constantly cold?
