Why do you need a Cooler Pad? Is your laptop really overheating that much?


Well, I dont have exprience with cooler pads and really not sure how effective they will be for your situation but I would say that you should go ahead and buy any decent cooler with 2 -3 (80mm or 120mm fans) the ones that have best air flow / CFM. Should be around $10 - $30 so in BD around 1000 Taka - 2000Taka at most.

Basically something that looks like this:




But I still doubt it will do much, you are better off just taking it apart yourself (or take it to some service shop) and clean the heatsink and re apply the thermal paste. Dust builds up a lot in there overtime and causes most over heating problems.
I even bet you could make one yourself with some centrifugal or regular fans and what not

Brother thanks for your suggestion.Can u tell me what is heatsink and thermal paste

Heatsink is the large metal well finned block accompanied with a cooling fan, It cools the processor. You'd see on the Processor, Graphics Cards and other Chips. You can find heatsinks mounted on top of your CPU, North Bridge, GPU.

Intel Desktop Heatsink


Thermal Paste / Compound is the silver gray or white colored grease that goes between the Processor / GPU vice versa Chip's I.H.S. Die and the Heatsink.

Not sure if my explanations are on spot or if you really need them, but that's how i'd put it.

You should take it to a local service shop if you aren't very tech minded or handy with tools or computers; ask them for a clean up job, to carefully open the thing up and remove the heatsinks and fans and give it a good clean / brush up and then make sure they apply some basic thermal paste before they put it back together. Usually a 1 - 2 hrs job, Shouldn't cost you more than 200 - 500 taka at most. Its just a matter of opening it up, cleaning the dust build up on the fans, heatsinks and putting it all back together. You could probably do it your self or ask a friend who's a bit more handy with such things.

I'll put up a few examples for you below,
