I was adding that into my previous comment while you replied to it lol, but yeah I do have a cooling pad with 4 fans directly underneath my laptop. It plugs into the laptop itself to turn on. My main worry is somehow the laptop getting damaged and the hardware degrading/not performing as well as it should be due to it or something to where some point down the line it can't run games as well as when I first got it. Is that possible in anyway?  It's why i'm so worried about somehow damaging it by leaving it plugged in too long when i'm gaming or not or something or it overheating.

If you're using a competent cooling pad and not leaving the laptop plugged in 24/7 you should be fine. It's not like we're overclocking this thing.

True, lol. I'll probably just leave it mostly plugged in then when i'm gaming, it seems to vary per game anyway. Vanquish for example runs just a well when unplugged compared to plugged in so I don't really need to plug it in to play that, but for others like PUBG it seems to make a big difference. I'll then unplug  it when i'm doing other things like just going on the internet and stuff like that that's basically not gaming. That should be fine then hopefully.  Thanks for the help again.
