gell coolers vs fan cooler Posted by Damain Last Updated: April 07, 2012 1013 which is gel cooler or fan cooler? Font NameReal font size Samath Fan is better in this case... Gel cooling requires a cool down sector, which a gel pad can't really provide since the hot surface of the laptop is pretty much covering it. Gel/liquid cooling works great, even better than fans, internally for desktops but don't depend on a gel pad to provide the same heat removal in the case of a laptop which generates the same amount of heat in a much smaller space. If you use your laptop on a solid plain surface, built-in fan circulates air by drawing from the bottom and exhausts through the sides. When the bottom cover grill remains free to draw sufficient air, no additional fan or gel required.
