Well I recently got into overclocking and was looking into good laptop stands. After a few weeks of research I realized that there weren't many good laptop stand for this laptop. especially because of the hot spots being as high as they are. I took matters into my own hands and built my own. I had an old targus chill mat xc laying around and decided to take purchase some 120mm and make them fit the stand. I bought 2 cooler master 120mm fans (not a big fan of the blue leds but they were on sale). The dba's are around 19 and the air flow is 60cfm. To power the new fans i bought a 2x12 volt ac adapter to power the fans. Then used the old fans that came with the stand and built a suction fan that is pointed directly at the cpu vent. After all this the total cost was under 20 dollars since I already had a stand. As for the temps, my laptop used to run idle at 50-52 on extreme settings level 3. Now after change thermal paste to artic 5 and adding the laptop stand I idle at 35. If any has any question about the stand let me know.
