[QUOTE="IvanLasston, post: 1217007, member: 145676"] I do run with a chill mat under my computer if I am sitting at a desk. The problem is any flash on the web can cause the CPU to spike. With no flash going my computer sits at 74F=24C - with flash going it can hit 95F=35C easily. I like Targus' offerings.

There are pads that don't use any power - and at least act as a barrier between you and the computer.
