To cool your laptop keep it somewhere with pleanty of airflow, don't put it on your sofa, bed, etc. I personally sit at a desk next to my aircon unit if I plan on doing high stress tasks for a long period of time. The aircon keeps air flowing around the laptop, allowing it to cool.

If a solution like that is not availiable, you could look into a laptop cooler.

keep your laptop elevated, put a book or something under the back edge, but don't block any vents by doing so. Even better, get a good notebook cooling pad. The best thing for gaming is a desktop, but if you need the mobility of a laptop, then ALienware is good, but expensive, ASUS gaming laptops are good and offer pretty good bang for the buck, SAGER is supposedly pretty good too, although I don't have much experience with them.
