LOL normally i'll put on some hard pillow.. i scare u2's fan will spin with the pillow cover @.@ Whether the fan will be blocked by the pillow cover depends on which position you place your fan.... But most of the time the fans will be blocked

QUOTE(nickycheong @ Jan 28 2011, 11:56 AM) heyhey! I've been using my U2 for a while now, and every now and then I've been using a cloth to try and reach in to wipe some of the dust off the blades of the fans. Thing is, it's not very effective and I usually don't manage to get rid of all of the dust. Any idea how to completely take apart the U2 fan for cleaning without damaging the wires? (sorry I'm quite bad at this haha) Try cotton buds... and remember to wipe the sides of the fan frame as well

QUOTE(lee_what2004 @ Feb 7 2011, 03:55 AM) Better get U3, U2 only 34cm width.. U2 comes default with 2 fans.. max should be around 4 fans... +1 QFT! The U2 will ngam ngam fit a 15.6 incher (or a bit smaller for larger laptops), better go for U3 instead.. U2 can fit 4 fans but will be very cramp

QUOTE(bonez_xy @ Feb 25 2011, 11:06 PM) tq [PF] T.J... how the performance of U2.. can the cooler decrease my lappy temp for >10 C? Nope haha Whether U2 is good or not depends on the number of heat vents underneath your laptop. The more there is, the better the cooling

QUOTE(bonez_xy @ Feb 26 2011, 12:12 PM) my laptop is very hot right now. so i decide to go for d.i.y cooler laptop.. maybe u2 is not good enaogh for me.. DIY coolers basically enables the user to place the fan at the appropriate (hot places/vents).... U2 does exactly that with the removable and adjustable fans, why not? Anyway, you won't be able to reduce 10 degrees+, its not possible for a normal cooler pad This post has been edited by [PF] T.J.: Feb 26 2011, 02:14 PM

QUOTE(Najmods @ Mar 11 2011, 09:14 PM) Why? It facing me. Its the same idea as sunken hinge, it makes the screen faces you, in this it makes the laptop faces you. Try it. Okay okay, I think I get what you mean already But usually I won't last long sitting on the bed like that, legs will become numb really easily Old adi

QUOTE(alucard1412 @ Mar 20 2011, 07:57 PM) indeed, its a pretty strong fan...but noisy la... And do take note since the air from the fan is quite strong, it'll almost inevitably cause some wobbling of your laptop's monitor, which is very bad in the long run

QUOTE(ashingburning @ Mar 20 2011, 11:36 PM) hmmm among the cooler pad, which 1 is best option? not to expensive, and cooling well..cooler master u2? how much is it?? cant find it in my hometown... Cooler Master U2 is around RM60-70 over here.... but the prices can be as high as RM90 in Penang... so better survey the prices 1st... Or you could just deal with the sellers at Garage Sales and post the device over?

QUOTE(ellimistx99 @ Mar 21 2011, 06:46 PM) So which cooling pad cools the best? Budget around 100, don't care if the fans sound like jets or if it looks like crap I just want the best cooling for that price range. Also, no external power source would be great, but I would be interested to see if those exist in this price range. Different cooler pads perform differently with different laptops, so its hard to say which 1 is the best For your budget you can take a look at Cooler Master's Notepal U2 (12-14 inch; RM60-RM70) and U3 (15 inch & above~RM90)... The adjustable fans will come in handy... Here are some reviews on the product: http://www.overclock3d.net/reviews/cases_c...er_notepal_u2/4http://lanoc.org/review/hardware/laptop/20...ster-notepal-u2http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/notepal_u3/5.htm
