Are there laptop coolers that actually produce a lot of air and make a real difference? (lemmy.world)

I am curious... I've a couple different ones, and they don't seem to actually do a whole lot... my poor laptop could use some help

I am under the impression that laptop coolers don't really do much, you're probably better off trying to clean the laptop fans and if your vents are on the bottom you should find a way to make some space for them by elevating the laptop

Now that I'm thinking, the last time I remember having a laptop that overheated was running on a Pentium M series, not even Linux saved it much from the age of it x)
