cooling pad vs desktop fan

[tootie smith]

i play alot of games on my laptop,and was wondering about it overheating ,i have a ONN cooling mat/pad,and i also use a small desktop fan (with the air blowing downward) i was just wondering do i need to use the DESKTOP FAN along with the ONN COOLING mat/pad-on temperature status is usually is CPU:45c to 48c, MAINBOARD: 45c to 48c, GPU: 42c to 46c, FAN SPEED:2100

Hi,

The answer is depending with the room temperature. Also another step that will help a lot in cooling the laptop is reapplying a new thermal paste. It won't also hurt if you use a desktop fan to cool down your laptop as long as there's sufficient air going into the air vents.
