My buddy swore by the ice pack under the laptop trick

My friend Dave kept telling me to just toss a frozen gel pack under my gaming laptop to cool it down. Said he'd been doing it for months with zero issues. I tried it for about 20 minutes during a Warzone session and came back to a puddle of water on my desk. The condensation dripped right into the intake vents and I almost fried the motherboard. Has anyone else had a cheap cooling fix like that backfire on them?

Ha, yeah I read condensation can wreck your laptop faster than heat does.
