Well the product I link is not a cooler pad.
Well that item will help draw out the hot air.
This item plus cooler pad could be a wining solution.
But I have to get a better cooling pad.
I Cooler Master NotePal U2 will the best option since can adjust the fan location.
Cause my laptop i put the vent ontop of the fan.

Some china made brand.
Im not even sure why is it this hot.
I clean the vent often. And the pad.

But I think it got to be the coolling pad fan or the pad itself.
The pad don't have holes or vent.

Forget about the 73C. Now is 68C. shocking.gif

I think your notebook cooler is not suitable for Dell Inspiron 1420. Anyway, are you a gamer? If you do, then it is probably one of the contributing factors.  smile.gif

I do play games.
But pretty much light games. Like Counter Strike 1.6 and COD4 with tweaks.
CS1.6, my Frame Per Second is 100. COD4, I get FPS 120 highest.

If I use V-Sync will the Graphic card get cooler?
60 FPS for 60Hz.
There for not making the GC producing extra frames.

I sound a bit abusive there. sweat.gif

Okay Now I understand why is on 73C, I was watching video on youtube. Fullscreen of course.
68C when idling. tongue.gif
