And no overheating doesn't take any set amount of time to occur. If the cooling is bad enough it can occur instantly as soon as you begin running a stressful application. With high power electronics it only takes a few nanoseconds to heat up the entire system.
External laptop cooling systems don't do much to improve internal temperatures. For that you need to disassemble the laptop, remove any dust buildup, remove any old thermal compound with isopropyl alcohol and a microfiber cloth, and apply new thermal compound (preferable a carbon nanoparticle based compound). If it's still overheating then the cooling system design is just not good enough to handle those components and you're shit out of luck.
Thanks again. I'll check that out and see if it helps.
