 ==== So why don’t cooling pads help? ====
-Cooling pads, in general, blow room temperature air, at the bottom plastic of the laptop, which isn’t that much hotter than the room temperature (it can’t be, due to safety standards and tends to be decently isolated from the hot components). Cooling pad can bring down the heat somehow, but it is achieved also partially by ensuring the previous point – that the laptop is elevated and the intakes have enough room for air to reach the fans in high enough volume.
