    Raising the laptop about 1" above a hard surface without blocking the air vents is usually more effective than a cooling pad. Cooling pads sometimes actually reduce airflow inside the case due to impeding flow downward out the exhaust vents which may be against the upward flow of the cooler. Some helios 700 models have side exhaust vents that may benefit from a KLIM cooling pad which are quite nice and reasonably priced.

    I use a wire rack from a toaster oven to raise my laptop almost an inch without blocking its air vents. Temperatures are about 5*C cooler than without the oven rack.
