laptop cooling choice

[tjchua]

Hi I just bought a Sager NP8285-S and i read that the temperature gets quite high, so ill be buying a laptop cooler as well. this 15.6 laptop has fan intakes from the bottom and vents hot air out the back.

im deciding between getting Cooler master U3 plus or ErgoStand2 ( if you can suggest other good coolers please do)

My main concern is performance , how much can the cooling pad cool the laptop, does anyone own these pads and give comments?

other ways of cooling a laptop are appreciated

The undenyable best cooler is this:

But its expensive and has to be powered from the wall (not a USB port). I like this one if you care about it being cheap and USB powered:

Cooling pads do help, not only with propping the laptop up but it also cools the bottom of the laptop which in turn cools the inside of the laptop.

any one who can shed some light?

U3 seems more durable but has small fans but can be directly placed in the laptop intake VS other pads with stronger fans

By the looks of the U3 it seems really flimsy to be honest, the fans aren't even fully enclosed.
