Whether the Cooler pad works or not depends also on the number of vents at the bottom of the laptop nod.gif

Any electronic shops? Just need to cut the wire later to directly connect to the fan...
and don't use the U3 fan, change the fan to fan that usually use for desktop casing...

wow, din't know there's a post on this doh.gif

But I'm really noob la, don't understand the components sad.gif

ITEMS USED :
1. CM Notepal U3 Aluminium Body
2. 3x CM 120mm Blue LED Silent Fan -> This one I get 2 should be enough for U2? laugh.gif
3. Linksys Router Adapter (1A, 12V) -> What is this and where to get? laugh.gif
4. 2-pin Female Connector comes with CM Silent Fan -> Comes along with the fan?
5. Some Wire Tapes, Double Rubber Tapes and Wire Connectors

All I need to get is the fans and a "Router Adapter" ? So easy meh? lol
So the fan will be powered by A/C socket right? hmm.gif

That power supply too big...
I tried connect diy fan with usb, still works fine..

What do you mean sifu?
The Router Adapter power supply too big? Which one should I get then? laugh.gif
If connect the fan to USB, won't the speed (and cooling) be the same? hmm.gif

can improve it as he can't adjust the speed of fan..

Fan speed adjustment is not exactly very useful I think? hmm.gif
As long as it spins faster than the stock fans then should be good enough~

2. I guess 2..
3.The power adaptor, I got the 15v but adjustable from 3V until 15V, so I can adjust fan speed, last time bought around RM15 or 20..
4, Yeah.
Was replying to ngkhanmein, the desktop power supply too big laugh.gif

Useful for reducing noise if want silent..
My fan is too loud on full power 12V, so most of the time I run at 7.5V..
*
Omai, suddenly I feel very keen on trying this out laugh.gif Hands itchy liao haha XD
Thanks sifu!

For the fans, those CM 120mm is the best?
As for the power adapter, any brands to recommend? Is there only one type cause I don't even know what its like haha... IT shops sure have one?

many thanks again notworthy.gif notworthy.gif

Haha, I doubt the fan noise can beat the M14x's hairdryer sweat.gif sweat.gif

Electronics is part of physics right?
P=VI or something? laugh.gif
All I remember is I suck at it XD

Haven't went to All IT yet haha....

Cooling efficiency varies from laptop to laptop... if your laptop doesn't have a lot of vents underneath, then there's no real point in using those fans haha laugh.gif

And the thing is you need to know how much a cooler pad will help decrease temps... 10C decrease is considered insane liao laugh.gif
Can expect around 5C decrease haha
