Cooling pad (KLIM Wind) vs Zephyrus G16 2025: airflow conflict / dust concerns?

The G16 2025 exhausts from the rear. I have the white/silver version so the exhaust vents are black. They point directly to the rear underneath the panel, and also downwards.

Overheating on 2024 Razer Blade 16 Part 2

what helped me before with a blade 16 was undervolting with throttlestop and repasting with ptm7950. but after two failures, honestly you might want to cut your losses. the ASUS ROG Zephyrus G16 runs way cooler with its vapor chamber. the Lenovo Legion Pro 7i also has much better thermal management

Looking for powerful laptop capabilities of 3d modelling and rendering

I would say look at the asus proart p16 or the asus rog zephyrus g16. They are both pretty professional looking and with ghelper(absolute must have) they can be tweaked to get really good battery or crush 3d tasks(you cant have both). The proart is basically just a more professional G16, they share

Decision part 2: Proart p16 or zephyrus g16

i feel you on this decision point, especially with CAD and engineering workloads where one wrong pick feels expensive. For your exact priorities, ASUS ProArt Studiobook Pro 16 (2025 Ryzen AI 9, RTX 5070 Ti) can be the better pick when rendering, simulation, and long compile sessions matter most than
