Just bought a Cooler Master Notepal U2 (~RM60+).... it is rather impressive, especially the movable/ removable fans, thus more efficient cooling + easy to clean XD XD
Those who are interested can take a look at it ^^ Not bad at all rclxms.gif

hello anyone can reply my msg? any cooler suitable for asus n series?

The Cooler Master NotePal U2 I'm using is claim to be able to use even for 17' laptops.
So far no problems using it on my 15.6' laptop... I like the adjustable fans which can be placed directly beneath the heat sinks for better cooling, summore easy to clean ^____^
Its RM 68 though, lower than your desired budget hehe~
There are other nice coolers from CM and Zalman but I'm not sure they are easy to clean or not.

Yea. IMHO if one wants to buy a USB powered notebook cooler, this is not really an ideal choice. However, if one wants performance wise and not really care about this matter, then this should be fit your requirements! Neverheless, the vid. below shows one of the owner who just powered his/ her notebook by just using USB port.  rclxub.gif

I only know the current price for NotePal U2.
There are 2 variants, 1 is for 10.1-12" laptops (~RM50), whereas the other one is for 14" - 17" laptops (~RM68).

Hihi dear Sifus,

I was just wondering, usually how do you all measure the effectiveness of the Cooler pad? Just use a temperature measuring program and screenshot (gaming and non-gaming)?
Planning to test the Cooler Master Notepal U2 on my F60 hehe laugh.gif By the way, I'm using SpeedFan

Thank you very muchie!

my tip..

try putting 4 matchboxes on each edge(of course do not put the matches,replace it something else). pretty much it improves ventilation and can reduce temperature by 4-5 degrees
*
+1, this should be done whenever one is using a laptop without a cooler, and especially when one is not in an air-conditioned room nod.gif
I'm not sure whether it decreases temperatures up to 4-5 degrees but it sure improves ventilation notworthy.gif

So, what are the factors that determines the suitability of a cooling pad to a laptop? From what I have read from the first post, it should be budget, cooler fan position, cooling material and fan speed. Correct me if I am wrong, I believe that the screen size of the laptop and the laptop weight are also very important, right? What are other factors?

Thank you for the advice given.
*
Yeah, the size is important... as for the weight, not that much I think unless one is using an Alienware M17x drool.gif Not all cooler pads can support such a heavy weight machine nod.gif
The number/size of heat vents on the bottomside of the laptop will also undoubtedly affect the suitability of the cooler pad...

Hi guys. I found this website which hopefully can help others to decide which cooler to choose from. They making a review about each cooler very well.

After i check out the site i bought the evercool hawk 1 notebook cooler. Not yet test it since my lappy not yet arrive. I will post some review / result after getting my lappy.

Here the web :

http://www.overclockersclub.com/reviews/notepal_u3/

But keep in mind they r testing those cooler with mac book pro. Result might be slightly different for other lappy.

Hope can help a bit here.

Cheers.

after all my surveys. there are onli 2 choices for u. cooler master u2 or zalman nc1000. i also duno which one better.
*
Whether U2 works well or not really depends on the laptop... different laptop may have different results... But basically the more vents underneath the laptop, the better the cooling will be for U2 since you can move the fans to the hottest spots...
If unsure, Zalman cooler pads will probably cool better than CMs nod.gif

CM a lot fake.. Zalman look solid.. u see quality between both of it.. u will understand Zalman is better.
actually as long your laptop get less heat.. the lifespan of laptop would be good.. my bro example using problematic compaq v3000.. a lot users complaint it.. but till now my bro still use it.. he bought rm2.3k that time.. he take care it well.. just quite hot on palm there..
*
Well, I agree there's quite a few of those copy-cat versions of CM cooler pads, but you won't find the same "Cooler Master" words there laugh.gif Anyway there's also copy-cat versions of Zalmans as well laugh.gif
Zalman is much more dearer so its by nature that it should be of better quality... right? laugh.gif
Yeah, so for those who wants a long-lasting laptop, try getting laptops without dedicated GPUs hehe nod.gif

hais,i just got prob with my u2
1 of my fan like "rosak",cuzĀ  it spin more slower than b4 ..
not as fast as the other one ..
cooler master got 1 year warranty right ?
will claim for warranty when im back to jb later
haiss,i hate this kind of problem

Perhaps you should check whether the decreased fan speed is due to dust clogging the fan? hmm.gif
It happens from time to time since most users will only tend to clean off the dusts on the fan blades themselves and neglected the ones at the region around the blade tips...
You can try cleaning it with cotton buds nod.gif

Oh ya, hair getting stucked on the motor cylinder will also significantly decrease fan speed

Hi New to laptop cooling thing. Bought a Dell XPS 15 just recently. Played l4d2 on it and it was so soooo HOT (on the left side)

I did something naive by just lifting the back part of the laptop by resting it on a cellotape, providing gap of contact between the btm of the laptop and the table. (does that contribute in cooling? o.O)

Anyways, wantedt o ask on what is the best cooler for it? =) 15.6'' size

I think my budget would be around RM100 plus minus...
*
Perhaps you can try Cooler Master U2 (12-14" but can ngam ngam fit 15.6") or Cooler Master U3 (15.6-17) nod.gif nod.gif
