Conventional fan cooling pads are not doing enough. A Peltier effect thermoelectric cooling unit under the fans seems an obvious solution.
Yes under "Peltier effect laptop pad". I ordered one promising 43 degree reduction in temperature in three seconds.
None of my CPUs are hitting 100 C NOW.
It works differently than I thought. The Peltier effect is not under the fans but in a pressure activated panel that contacts the bottom of the laptop. I may have to tape it down to get full activation.
If your laptop over time is getting hotter, you may need to clean the vents out. Be careful, though: if you blast compressed air in there, you may actually damage the fans. Sometimes it's worth repasting the CPU, too, because the thermal compound between the CPU and the heat spreader can dry out. You would have to open it to tell, though.
