Pointless laptop cooler

Enermax Aeolus Notebook Cooling Pad CP001-S
Enermax Aeolus Notebook Cooling Pad CP001-S

Pros: Looks nice, that's it.

Cons: This cooler is pointless and is actually raising the temperature of my system. I've been collecting system temps for 3 days from the sensors built into the laptop. Here's my Idle temps without this cooler sitting on a notebook binder: System/CPU: ~60C Video Card: 70C HDD: 40C With the cooler: System/CPU: 61C Video Card 74C HDD: 44C To be fair the positioning of the fan doesn't quite coincide with the positioning of components on my laptop (Asus G1S-B1) so I move the laptop closer to the front so the fan is directly under the CPU/Video card and HDD. Case in point though, spending 3$ on a notebook binder cools my laptop better than this cooler.

Overall Review: The only reason I bought this cooler was cause of reviews from various sites from users with similar laptops showing a large decrease in overall temperature, I'm now questioning those reviews. Unfortunately it'll cost me more to ship this back and get a refund from newegg than to keep it, so looks like I'll be keeping it and hacking it to pieces to see if I can mod it to be a better laptop cooler.
