Laptop cooler

Hi
Can anybody recommend a good laptop cooler?

I have a HP Pavilion Dv5-1000 Core2Duo T9400 2.53Ghz Geforce 9600GT. When I play demanding games it heats up a shuts off really quick. Even some web browser games can heat it up to the point of shut off. This is very inconvenient and the only way to stop it is keep it propped up and put a very noisy stand fan on it that blows everything around.

I heard that some Laptop coolers can keep this from happening. My friend gave me one that was a dollar on ebay and it didn't work if anything it made it worse cause I no longer could prop it.

I'm not looking to buy the top of the line $100 model something cheap but will still get the job done.

Thanks in advance.

Are you talking about coolers such as these?

They are usually worthless. What I did with my laptop to solve heat problems is open it up and blow the heatsink and fans with an air can. That usually solves the problems.

More?
I replaced the thermal paste with mx-4.
And I attached these...

... to places that were hot on the laptop while I was surfing or gaming.

Less? Just thoroughly use an air canister on the vents. Everything I said above is not needed. This alone lowered cpu temps by 20C. Yes 20c.

Well I just used an Air can on the vents sounding the CPU and didn't see any change in temp according to Real Temp.

I'm still idling around 50C. 60C while doing minor tasks(Firefox,Real Temp, Task manager) at 1-5% load.

I guess my next step is to disassemble and try to clean the fan manually.
