If your system gets too hot, your hardware gets damaged over time. This genuinely happens. Laptops, even those not meant for gaming, always come with a cooling fan built-in next to the processor. This way, your fan keeps your CPU from overheating. However, not all laptops have strong enough cooling systems to deal with certain situations. Another factor to consider is the temperature of the environment. On a hot day, your laptop will get hotter than on a cold day.
But how can someone know if the fan is keeping up or not? There is plenty of software to do that. If you are picking an Alienware laptop, it already comes with Alienware Command Center. Alienware Command Center is an exclusive software that comes preinstalled in an Alienware computer.
Cooling pads usually can be elevated in such a way that more air can get into your laptop. After all, the laptop needs space to breathe, to let cool air get in and hot air get out. Also, they have several fans that send air inside your laptop. Alienware laptops are known for heating too much.
Some of those complaints might be due to using them inadequately. When you use your portable computer on the top of your lap or in the bed to watch movies, you are letting dust and other particles get into the inside of it. They get stuck to the cooling fan and cling to other parts of the hardware too. Sometimes doing this is inevitable, but you should be aware of the effects. If you do like to keep your Alienware on your lap to play, a cooling pad can help. Now, some Alienware models have a cooling system supposed to help keep the laptop in safe temperatures even when gaming on a desk.
If your Alienware laptop still gets too hot, a cooling pad can help as, again, it will create a space that lets your machine breathe. To be honest, a cooling pad is the best thing any laptop gamer should get immediately. It keeps your machine well ventilated and makes your laptop last longer. However, just like you do maintenance on the laptop to clean the insides and get rid of dust and change the thermal paste, you need to clean the cooling pad from time to time. Plenty of dust gets stuck on its fans.
The good thing about this type of accessory is that it is incredibly cheap. Still, picking up the right one makes the difference since there is no reason to buy more than one to test.
Most good cooling pads nowadays come with five or six fans. In the case of Aicheson S, it has five fans that throw air into your laptop and help it breathe. More than that, it includes the whole package of what you should expect of a cooling pad: you can adjust the height to keep your laptop as far from your desk or lap as possible, it has two USB ports, and fans spin fast.
To turn it on, you need to connect one of the two USB ports to your laptop. Then the other will be free for you to connect to other devices and the pad will mediate the connection between your device and the laptop. This is a pretty useful feature that not all cooling pads have. The five-fan setup is usually a big fan in the center with four smaller fans. This six-fan cooling pad has two big fans side by side with another four small fans. This should be enough to keep your laptop well ventilated.
Of course, it also has height regulation to create a space where your laptop breathes. I too am a user. Browse Community. Dell Community : Laptops : Alienware : m17 R1, getting too hot.
