[QUOTE="jdaniel, post: 835390, member: 88562"] i did some reading up and in my opinion passive gel pads work better than fans. try googling thermapak because of the way the fan is at the hinges, there is no efficient way to dissipate the heat from other areas than direct contact which draws the heat away. so if you are using the laptop "bareback" without any plastic casing, it would work best for you. I am using speck so I think it would make very little difference unless it gets to 60 deg c which it doesnt very often at all. [/QUOTE]
