Just bought a NotePal - notebook colling pad
Since the day i started to play games with my laptop, i can feel my laptop is going to burn and it always overheated. If the SpeedStep technology is on, my game performance will have a sudden slow down in performance and start lagging like this lag … lag … lag … lag … er …. lag… l … a …. g…. …g….g….g..g
Currently i’m addicted to a online MMORPG game - SealOnline (Thailand Version). before i play i must off my SpeedStep technology then only i can play my game for around 1 hour. After 1 hour, the temperature will increase and my game start to l …a …. a….g…..g……g
Finally i cant stand the heat and lag, so just now went to Lowyat and get a coolpad for my laptop. There are many brand out there with different material and number of fan. At last i choose NotePal (by Cooler Master). The look seems quite ok. and it cost me RM 99. The material it use is Alloy Aluminium and it come with 2 fan and 2 USB port. I’ve been using this NotePal since 2 pm till now (4.11pm). My laptop temperature seems quite ok.
Havent really play games on it. Hope it will help to reduce the heat in my laptop 
Below are some of it’s pic:-
2 USB Port at the back with the power button to switch on the Fan
2 Big Fans (70mm x 70mm x 15mm) in the middle but not tat strong, it’s enough to cool my Laptop i guess :p

Have you found whether the cooling pad has worked to prevent game lag? I have the same lag problem with my 600m, but I don’t want to buy a cooling pad unless I know that it would work well.

hi there,
u have to turn off the Speed Step technology in the BIOS mode, if u have the cooling pad, it helps to reduce the lag.
After i use this cooling pad and turn off the speed step tech, i haven’t experience any lagging problem.
** Please note that if u turn off your speed step tech, ur laptop will be extremely hot. so u need a cooling pad to cool it down.
The model i suggest above do not really suit the 600m due the the fan location on the pad. if you can get a 3 fans colling pad, i think it will works better.
Good luck to u
