Area-51m, laptop cooling pad?

I’m looking for a laptop cooling pad for an Alienware Area-51m.

Will the  IETS GT300 Double Blower Laptop Cooling Pad for 14-17 Inch Gaming Laptop work?

Hi @Anniebell  welcome to this user to user discussion forum. This is not Dell Support. 

Dell Area-51m advert says: Dual-Intake, Dual-Exhaust Airflow Design: The Area-51m chassis prioritizes performance with a dual fan design that pulls in cool air from the bottom and top vents, while exhaling exhaust out the rear and side vents for optimal core component cooling. (The Intel Core i7-8700 with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2060 configuration does not have a side-exhaust.) 

There is Area-51m cooling pad discussion Here. Placing the Area-51m on a flat surface (table), with no intake/exhaust air flow obstruction, is generally best for the system. There is a 70% benefit in elevating the system, especially the back. There is a 30% benefit of forced air flow from beneath. The combined solution would look something like the Smart Laptop Cooling Pad for Alienware Area-51M. [Here

That worked on my laptop, but ended up buying this one (GB Laptop Cooling Pad with Powerful Turbofan, Gaming Laptop Cooler Radiator)... that worked better than this one.

@Pimpolicious​ I do still have the other one, if the Turbofan fails, its their to put on the system.  I work from home and use my Alienware for work and playing games... so its on a lot.
