Is 700-1200RPM ±10% good enough for cooling pad?

That's the rated speed for my 140mm dual pad fans, which I assume is better at cooling my laptop than my dual 70mm fans spinning anywhere from 0-6144RPM. The ± symbol basically means more or less/give or take, and after it is 10%; thus, the actual speeds can range from 630-1320RPM depending on ambient temperature and airflow. I know there exists cooling pads out there that go up to 3000RPM and even larger fan diameter, but I really don't need those.

no..It needs be 2400rpm...as the Processor heats up and cooling coils fall short... As such it operates at higher temp.
@KA9ha no that's not what my benchmarking has indicated to me

I'd only "need" 2400RPM if I had i9 14900HK and RTX 4090 MaxP (200W) which I don't

But since I have i5 9300H and GTX 1050 (75W), 1320RPM is more than enough for me
@KA9ha you do realize that laptop CPUs can operate up to 100°C and laptop GPUs up to 95°C before crashing right? And also they only start to throttle around 90-95°C for CPU and 80-85°C for GPU (although many OEMs may set them to throttle at 70-75°C smh as is my card).

The fact that I can get anywhere from 5-20°C in cooling from just placing my laptop on the pad, then elevating it by a few inches (so external fans are off), means that I don't need at least 2400RPM for my pad. Laptop CPUs can safely operate in the 90s, while GPUs can do so in the 80s, which isn't the case for desktop equivalents.

You need a full width heat sink
@OriginalDumbMan the metal mesh panel already is a de facto heatsink

@Jessmari I don't play the newest games Einstein, nor would I want to even if I did have Ryzen 9 9950X, RTX 4090, and 64GB DDR5 until path tracing and native 4K @ 120-240FPS can be pulled off without any tricks

@Jessmari alright, straight to strawmanning
