Laptop cooling for new 17" Ionico

Enthusiast
Heya folks,

Been awhile since I last posted. Finally saw a 17" version of a laptop with a 3070 Ti (new Ionico) and was hoping someone had some experience on maybe like the 15" or a previous version of the Ionico laptops in terms of how effective standard laptop coolers go - the last laptop I got was the Defiance 4 years ago and even with a laptop cooler and an undervolt we still had some issues keeping it cool over a medium-length gaming session.

Have these been more successful with heat dissipation?

Also as a side question in terms of the NVMe SSD - The Samsung 970 is slightly cheaper than the Corsair, however I do know that the Samsung is quite a bit older. Which one should I go for? Or are there better options to choose from what they have available?

Appreciate any advice. Thanks in advance!

Hello,
I can't answer for the new ionico, but i know the previous one ran hot, but it should not impact your performance
it would be a waste to not take a pcie 4th gen with this laptop (like the samsung 980 pro)
you definitly want to take a dual ram (like 2x8 or 2x16) instead of a solo one
and you should take the dead pixel warranty
