Just ordered the most expensive laptop I never thought I'd need.

Keep in mind that you can make changed to the build right up until it's in testing. Just in case you want to keep an eye on the RAM situation and consider the cooler prior to receipt.

I will, thank you.

Do the laptop coolers with fans make much difference in this situation?

No, they're old tech, they don't really work on modern laptops as they don't have air output on the underside of the laptop.

Ok, thanks.

When I receive my laptop, sorry, DTR, I will be using it on a laptop cooling pad initially and will see how it goes from there. It's not the cost but I'm old school and can't bring myself to mix water with electronics.
The fans on the cooling pad blow upwards to the bottom of the laptop so should help with air intake, at least to some extent. As I say the laptop won't be used for extended periods in the same way a gamer might use it.
Looking forward to getting it now although I do wonder how many of these GPU chassis they will get in at a time as I'm 27th in the queue.
Anyone have any knowledge of how many PCS get in at a time?

Not even PCS will know this, totally depends on the supplier.

FYI, the cooler contains distilled water; as distilled water has a low conductance value, it's basically unable to conduct electricity.
