With a coolermaster XL laptop cooling pad for cooling.
But the big question is that i have heard people getting overheating problems that crash the system even after using the cooler. I am totally confused. Please help.

Why stay with the laptop R4? I found the Aurora R4 to be way more worth it per dollar, it's a powerful rig and got good reviews (http://reviews.mysteryblock.com/alienware-aurora-r4-review/).

You'd be better off long term with a desktop, or even the X51 is good. It has multiple price ranges too.
