do i need to clean dust and re-apply thermal paste every year?

Dust cleaning is advisable~
Reapplying thermal paste is only required when temperature rises above normal range.. [You can check your temperatures using HWmonitor if haven't already icon_rolleyes.gif ]

i just open my laptop to clean the dust inside it.
the thermal paste looks like 'tanah liat' and harden edi..
so i reapply new thermal paste but then after i on the laptop the temp is  high then before i apply the new thermal paste..
i reopen the laptop and try again to reappl the thermal paste but the result is same..
at the end i put back the old thermal paste..

what is the problem ? is it i did not put the thermal paste correctly?
this is the 1st time im doing this..
*
Thermal paste quality perhaps?
What thermal paste are you using? hmm.gif

Which cooler is best suit for Acer 4935g? Thanks.

Which cooler to use depends very much on the bottom designs of your laptop... if there are no vents underneath, then there's no real need for a cooler pad, just tilt the laptop up abit and you're good to go nod.gif
Mind snapping a photo of the underside of your laptop? hmm.gif

Well, I don't have a camera and my phone's camera resolution is quite low. I can only provide this picture taken from ebay lol.
It looks like this: (have to put spoiler because I don't know how to resize it sweat.gif )

the fan is located at the top right side.

Hmm, the internal components are removed, but there should be other vents above those components (not shown in your photo).. A Notepal U3 would do just fine I would say, just position the fans directly under each vents

So, would you still recommend me to purchase Notepal U3? Or are there any better laptop coolers? Thanks.  smile.gif
The lower part is hottest part, which I think where the graphic card and the hard disk is located.

Well, there are quite alot of vents underneath, so a u3 would be nice (especially if you're on a budget)... I'm not familiar with other coolers, so can't really comment much.
Additionally, the U3 has rather good modding potential- you can easily put in more powerful fans (like mine, just that mine is U2) for better cooling~

Still, your Acer is quite old already right?
YOu might want to get rid of the dusts that accumulated around the fan blades, heatsinks etc., and if you feel like you're up to the task, reapply thermal paste for your notebook

Looks like NZXT is releasing something like the Cooler Master U series cooler pad:

QUOTE
...designed to cool laptops up to 15" in size and comes with a pair of 2x80mm movable fans

Expected to launch sometime in May, the Cryo E40 will cost $27.99.

Review on the NZXY Cryo E40 thumbup.gif
Seems pretty decent, especially the fact that its affordable

Pros:
Cooled notebook down by as much as 5 degrees F
Movable fans to pinpoint hotspots
Steel mesh design
Affordable

Cons:
Temperatures went up (slightly) in some areas
Only fits up to 15" notebooks

Another review on the NZXT Cryo E40~
http://www.notebookcheck.net/NZXT-Cryo-E40...ew.74294.0.html

Seems pretty popular this one haha laugh.gif

Again, the most important fact about this particular notebook cooler is the variable results. Cooling efficiency will vary depending on the laptop model...
Laptops with more/ larger vents at the bottom of the laptop will work better with this cooler nod.gif

i wanna connect cpu fan wire to 12v power supply but don't know how to identify which one is positive wire and which one is negative wire..

the cpu fan split into two which is red wire and black wire.. but the power supply both are black wire with one got stripe and the other are fully black with some writing on it...

thus how can i know the one is + and the other is - ?
*
Trial and error?
Connecting wrongly will cause the fan to rotate in the opposite direction, so you'll know based on the direction of the air which is blown out hmm.gif

As long as you don't connect the positive end of the adapter to the negative end of the adapter and turn on the switch then you'll be fine haha tongue.gif

Thermal paste perhaps?
Perhaps you can use other temperature programs (HWmonitor etc.) to confirm the temp readings?
