Laptop coolers - do they help anything?
I bought a new gaming laptop. Intel 7700HQ, GTX1050, yada yada.
When I run games on it, I notice that the temperature seems to hit about 70C on the motherboard, 80+C on the CPU and about 70C on the graphics. The laptop doesn't seem warm to the touch under these loads unless you put your hand where the air blows out.
So, the title question. Are the temperatures described reasonable? And how effective are laptop cooling pads. Near as I can find/google, the best numbers I've seen (from a shop trying to sell them to you) is a 5C drop overall. Many say a 1 or 2 degree drop. But is it needed for longevity or will such a small drop even help?
