Laptop cooling
I was just wondering where I could pick up the best bang for the buck laptop cooling pad. Seems like my graphics card is always overheating.

Thanks

You can check crystal mall for some cooling pads, ncix has quite a bit too. You're probably looking at $20+ for a decent one. Just blow some air through the intake to get the dust out, forget the thermal paste if you've never done it before. Laptops are a pain to work with.
