    Anyway it is working in a limited way at the moment so I will try and
    track if it is overheating.



    Speccy seems quite good at reporting temperatures. https://www.ccleaner.com/speccy

    I am having cooling problems with a Dell XPS laptop.
    As far as I can tell the fan isn't running (which is the opposite to the
    main problem of the fan being too noisy).

    I will be investigating further, but this has made me consider a laptop cooler.

    Does anyone use one, or know of a good brand?

    This Tecknet cooling pad seems to be doing the business.
    Cool as a cucumber now.

    Cheers
