Notebook Coolers

I just bought a Notebook Cooler for my laptop. It has four fans and can operate using USB or DC adapter. I am looking at Speedfan's indicator of temperature rating and I do not see much difference. The Notebook Cooler's fan are very silent and blow at around 2000 rpms which is not much. What are your thoughts?

I guess to answer this question we would have to know how much heat can the cpu dissipate in btu per second, as your fan now blows at about 100 cfm.

I am searching to come up with heat obsorption per minute and the amount of heat the processor can actually release. I question if the fan that cam with the laptop was able to deliver enough air flow to remove the heat that is being emitted and by increasing the airflow you really have not done much. That it si say the cpu surface are is emitting the heat at the same rate as what the original fan was able to disperse.

You may have to look at some how blowing cooler air into the laptop on humid days like today to further reduce the cpu temp. IE a bowl of ice by the fan.

I am still looking but have found no article saying that these fans actually help. Just people saying the increased air flow should do it.

I also need to know does the extra cooling fans blow through the original fan? If so you might be losing you head pressure and the original fan may have to be removed to allow the increased air flow.


Interesting experiment they had good results cooling the casing! (that is if I really understood what they did.)

Yes, and from the way it is designed it pushes a little bit of cool air through its vents and the laptop fan takes it in from the bottom and funnels it out the left side of the laptop.

UPDATE: Just looking at the box it seems that this pulls air from the laptop and disburses it through the sides. Here is the link for it:

OK so it is actually cooling the casing on the bottom same as some other I have seen today. From what I have read most see no change in temperature in idle wich seems to be 50 to 60 F. These items seem to cool during hard play, they used a heavy graphics game. Temp 68 to 73F dropped to 58 to 63 F.

Also does your internal fan on the laptop run all the time if not you might want to find out how to over ride the present setting if at all possible.

Still think the real solution is to get cooler air over the actual chip. I read were many actual opened their lab tops and cut more vent holes near the processor that seemed to drop 5 F. Good by warranty.

Many of the cooling fans run around 60 cfm with rpms around 1200. Rpm is really not important but the cfm is. More air should be better.

So the cooler is only good if you are basically trying to melt the metal on your laptop. I was actually thinking of taking it back, but I do not know, I feel any heat disbursement is good in the long run since I am using my laptop all the time.

Sorry I had lost the site I got the test from but here it is.

No I think cooling the casing is great Idea as it really acts a an additional heat sink for the cpu. From what I seen on the weather network you are getting storms right now. The additional humidity might be messing things up a bit.

I am just looking for a way to get colder air into the laptop jacket to further reduce the cpu temp. This new machine might just run hotter different position of board in air flow more or less air movement in case are all factors.

The water jacket is still the best I have seen as that allows more cooling, the idea of liquid/gel in my computer has never been a favorite idea to me though.

Holy mackeral! I was worried about a water jacket check out this cooling method!

Too funny:

What is more is someone posting a comment asking if it is true.
