Cooling pad or side clamping vacuum fan?

Hi
I just got a new 15.6" laptop recently.
It's a Sager NP8152-S which was custom built in a Clevo P650RP6 chassis.
(i7-6700HQ, GeForce GTX 1060)

I want to get a cooling device for it. I was thinking a cooling pad, but have also noticed other devices that attach onto the side vent and apparently suck air out.
Like this for example:
https://www.amazon.com/LC05-Cooling-Auto-Temp-Detection-Compatible/dp/B00XKU47Y2/ref=sr_1_8?s=pc&ie=UTF8&qid=1477421839&sr=1-8&keywords=laptop+cooling+pad

They seem to have many positive reviews.
Does anyone have any experience with these?

Not sure what to get? A cooling pad or one of these side-attachments...

Here's an image I got off the internet that shows what my chassis looks like (bottom and side vents)

Looking forward to your suggestions. Thanks!
