Asus X555l cooling pad

Im looking for a cheep cooling pad for my asus x555l laptop. I have no idea for what to look for because unlike other laptops the fan is behind the screen hinge.

If there are no vent holes/intakes on the underside then a cooling pad will not work. Mac Books are the same. The underside has no vents. Is it overheating?

no it just gets over 150 F when playing gta 5 but nothing over 155F

there is a vent hole on the bottom but the fan is up at the hinge. If you look into the vent hole on the bottom you can see a part of the cooling tube for the CPU

Laptops intakes are usually the bottom, so it will be an intake. Keep this unobstructed when playing, keep good airflow by using your laptop on a desk or hard flat surface but not on your lap (contrary to the name!), and at the hinge will be your exhaust. Easily recognisable by warm air blowing from it. A cooling pad will help if you are worried with heat or noise. But first try blowing out the fan with some compressed air to remove any built up dust and crap. Temps aren't worrying yet though.
