Hey everyone, first time here posting, long time surveyor.
So, my MSI GE72MVR has some decent hardware. The dual cooling fans and dedicated heat pipes are great. My problem isn't the CPU or GPU thermals.... It is my own. Let me explain. I have to run the fans pretty high to reduce heat exposure to the aluminum palmrest, which likes to redirect heat from one of the mobo chips up to my left hand (left of the palmrest). As the heat goes up internal to the laptop, so does the palmrest. This makes playing power-hungry games somewhat unbearable at times. Which, is a real bummer.
So, I am looking for a thermal insulator. One to put in between the palmrest and the chip(s) on the left of the touchpad. Under the keyboard would be great too.
So, any ideas? This is a laptop, so it needs to be something thin. I've tried searching for materials that are both a thermal insulator and isn't electrically conductive, but my searching hasn't bore much fruit.
Thanks all!
