Can anyone reccommend a powerful laptop cooling pad for botting?

Curious if anyone else out there bots on a laptop and has some issues with heat. I would love to be on a desktop right now, but unfortunately it's really just not possible for me since I move around too much, and I don't have the funds for both a laptop and desktop at the moment.
My laptop is powerful enough to run 2 or 3 instances of diablo, but I'm getting some serious issues with heat right now, my cpu temps are in the low 80c.
I'm using this laptop cooling pad: Newegg.com - Cooler Master NotePal X-Slim Notebook Cooling Pad Model R9-NBC-XSLI-GP

Just wondering if there were any other laptop botters out there, and if you could give me any tips to keep my temps down.
 
It's all relative... I use an Asus G74sx to run 2 instances of D3; those alone bring my temps to mid-high 60. I like to move the windows off screen; haven't compared temps while doing so (and it probably doesn't make a difference), but I like to think it does. Apart from that, maybe reduce your FPS to 20/20 and make sure you don't have any unnecessary processes running in the background with MSconfig. My temps usually don't exceed 80c unless I'm trying to play something like SS4AE or Max Payne while boting.

Literally one of the best posts I've seen in a while, even though it was a troll :) I commend you on it.

@OP
You're not really going to find better than what you currently have unless you set up one yourself that is tailored to the in and out ports on your laptop to help air move through. You'll want to direct the hot air coming out even farther away from your PC. As far as possible, and draw the incoming from the opposite side. Just blowing air over the bottom of the case like the one you have does helps, but it isn't getting between the components. One thing you could try is buying a new case, a larger one that allows for much better cooling systems/airflow. I know asus had a nice full system equivalent to my HP but with about 150% better cooling (wish I'd know about it sooner :P). See what you can find. It'll be bulky, but still portable, and more reliable. Some dis-assembly/reassembly/knowledge will be required.
 
=P wish i could have something like the freezer, part of the issue is probably that the ambient temperature is kind of warm as well.
no1knowsy, can you link me to one of these cases? That sounds awesome, but I've never actually heard of that before and google isn't pulling anything up for me right now. I also have a HP laptop (unfortunately it's a compact 14" envy), maybe I can find something that works.
 
I just looked and I didn't really find any empty notebook chassis, or any worthwhile barebones (being motherboard and maybe 1 or 2 more components pre-installed)...

Just see where the air flows through your PC and try a couple of setups from there. Just get a small fan or two in the house and point them like a normal cooling pad would have them.

I'm not sure what to call it, but in simple terms. I just found 4 small half circle table legs, put em under the laptop and now it runs 24\7 with no problems what so ever.
 
try to re-apply ur thermal paste, use artic silver. :) should at least reduce core temp by around 5 degrees

I did read it, and again I say, get a PC. I move around a ton, and I have a custom built LAN bag for my entire desktop, with a shoulder strap. It goes on every airplane ride, and goes anywhere I go basically.

Where do u chuck ur monitor and keyboard...
 
Newegg.com - Shuttle Computer
These are also incredible mobile, just make sure you have a few adapters to connect to any tv if you don't feel like bringing along a monitor.
CodenameG showed me those... They are goofy looking to me, but I may get one myself.
 
I don't have a PC mostly because I can't afford one right now, not because I don't want one or it's too big. I rigged up a couple more fans to blow on my laptop and it's about 10 degrees cooler, although my setup just looks really silly right now. I have a fan sitting on top of the keyboard of my laptop connected to power by some alligator clips.
When I disassemble my laptop to change the hdd and clean out the dust next week I'll try changing the thermal compound too.
Thanks for all the tips guys.

While your at it, pick up a few USB powered refrigerators and open the doors, then point them at your laptop: ThinkGeek :: USB LED Beverage Cooler
