I only use a cooling pad for my laptop to keep its hard drive cool (a hot hard drive wears out fast).

Computers (including their batteries) run better and last longer when cooler than warmer, as a rule, so there's no harm in using a cooling stand with the eDGe, although I'm pretty sure its technically unnecessary.

BTW, most cooling pads I've seen have an annoying and noticeable "hum" from the fans, except for the one I'm using (which is truly silent) and can't seem to find anymore. Does the one you bought make any noise?
