I have cabinet fans under mine and it works great, just don’t ask me to use a MacBook Pro as a laptop.

And if not fans, I actually just elevated my MacBook Pro on a cooling laptop stand (with no ventilation) and that was enough to keep it cool for hours-long streaming.

Very true that helps as well. A small $2 USB fan can be enough to keep air moving but not cool
