This is a gaming laptop I'm using, so I'm thinking that the airflow should be better. One thing I'm running into is that finding a cooler that will fit a 17.3" laptop. Not many out there and are crazy prices.
I'm going to try to "lift" the laptop, as suggested by DoubleF, by attaching rubber feet and see what kind of difference that makes.

I don't know if it's a joke or not, but freezing wood I don't believe would create condensation. Plastics and metals etc probably would though.
Just note, even an undersized cooling pad can help. But ramping up the bottom for airflow is a good first step and doesn't cost money. I'm not sure how much higher a rubber foot on a flat surface can ramp up a laptop though. A pen/pencil can be around 1cm while cooling pads are around 1/2 an inch.
Amazon has some decent prices on these things.
