Technology moves fast, and this is especially so with computer hardware. We have seen the super fast processors, memory and graphics move from desktop to notebook in a short space of time and this has meant that cooling manufacturers have had to develop new innovations to counter the excessive heat that these notebooks produce.

It's quite simple; components inside a notebook are very tightly seated together and because of this they generate heat quicker than the conventional computer would. This reaction can cause system lock-ups, crashes and even hardware failure. The faster the hardware the more heat generated, so gaming notebooks in particular will list highly as a victim of such weaknesses.
