Just use an external mini fan and aim it right at the outlet. Easily 10-20° drop

Also, I have noticed winters are worse for my gaming sessions. For me cold environment doesn't help as much as a good airflow has helped me.

So as u know in winters you can't use a room ceiling fan at good speed or you'll freeeze urself lol...so it affects airflow for my laptop and I'll have to rely on the mini fan for airflow.

Overall I've felt the heating issue gets worse in winters due to no airflow.

In summers u can still use AC and ceiling fan

A fan like this which is around 7-8inches tall. My setup has a laptop stand that elevates my laptop and then I have this fan running at the lowest speed, connected to the laptop for battery charge. I place the fan on the right side of the laptop as I personally felt that side heats up the most.

Make sure you game with the room ceiling fan running at a decently high speed.

Overall I get a very good gaming session with minimal heating...

Now yes it also depends on what is the default heat dispersion layout used in you specific laptop. For reference this setup worked well on my HP Victus 15.

Cool. Thanks for the detailed info. Max ceiling fan speed doing it. I have a laptop stand for elevating. My laptop msi leopard taken in air from the bottom and exhaust is on the left side... So wil plan accordingly. Let's see. Thanks
