Wait...What? I imagine it's just blowing relatively cooler air into the laptop but what about moisture/condensation effects? Otherwise why not a flat ice pack, the blue ones?

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.
