Try the fan first. I've tried a notebook cooler and it does nothing to cool off a hot laptop. It just keeps the hot laptop surface off your legs and pulls the hot air away from the bottom of the laptop. Doesn't really cool the laptop at all. You may want to pull the entire heat sink assembly out of the pc and check for dust build up inside the heatsink. My old Toshiba laptop was suffereing from overheating and the fan area was very clean. When I pulled the finned heatsink out it was clogged with dust/dirt on the inside surface.
