So I have this 17.3in HP Pavilion G7 laptop and I game on it quite often. I find myself getting horrid frames due to the laptop spiking pretty high temps. It will cap at 82C*, rev the fans to 100%, and throttle. I'm having issues trying to find a cooling fan for it. I'm a desktop major, not a laptop.

So my budget is $60 and something portable would be awesome. If it needs to be stationary that's fine too. Just anything to keep it from hitting the throttle point.

A cooling fan won't be of much help... My friend too had similar heating issues and we have tried n tested laptop cooling pads... None seem to be of much help... Desktops rock in gaming category...
I recommend you to try out a few cooling pads first and thn decide... I think pads with 4 fans could help you out... Cooler master n Deep Cool are good brands to look out for...
All the best...

cooler master u3 cooling pad is really good . higher cfm doesnt mean its gonna cooldown more. i tried deepcool x6 and its 120 cfm and its was not efective with my laptop and tried u3 its 45 cfm and cooled it down almost 10-15 C :O and + u3 is modifiable :D look at my picture. And i modded my laptop like crazy :D

my grill stand with 1 screw and thermal tape :D fixed it with a hairdryer . and now when i want to clean my fan just have to heat it and take it off :D
but its a hp envy dv6 so I cant make miracle with the heat. you cant drop laptop heat like crazy because cpu temp you see its under the heatsink. to really drop heat you have to change completely the cpu heatsink and best watercooling. but in laptop they dont do aftermarket so..
good luck
