Is there any recommendation for a cooler for my new laptop? It seems to get pretty warm and I worry. Have the 15.6 Asus I5 with 8gb ram, 128gb ssd and 1tb hdd. Has Nvidia 1060 with 3gb vram.

With the fairly powerful components in this laptop, it's bound to get warm. You can download and install Speccy from Piriform and check the temps if you want to know what they are. There are a gazillion coolers for laptops... a good place to shop for them is at Amazon or Newegg. You can read reviews of other users before deciding what to get.

The main thing to remember about laptop coolers is to get one that blows air in the same direction as your laptop. If the laptop is pulling air in through a vent on the bottom, you don't want a cooler underneath that's blowing downwards.

Good point, Jenny. Definitely locate your air intakes and vents and purchase accordingly.
