Product: HP Pavilion Gaming - 15-ec1010nr
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Was shopping around trying to make the best use of this laptop. Looking to get a cooling pad because gaming starts to get hot 61 degrees celsius (is that normal?) It appears that the temp rises gradually and I don't know if it'll stop or keep going until damage is done. I don't think it has overheating issues - it only gets hot during playing games that are visually demanding. This is why i was looking at cooling pads and the one i found mentions air intake on bottom. I want to know if those vents on the bottom of this unit are air intake and the vents on the back near monitor are heat dissipation?

It has vents at the bottom, left and right of the machine. The one at the bottom serves as inlet.
