well i guess the diy project which have done by the forumer here. effectively cooldown lappy. yet i built one with mobo box for testing purpose n got one from supplier which is running 3 fan aluminion pad. found that my own design is better cooling than the manufacturer. but looks sucky lol Added on March 13, 2007, 10:50 amQUOTE(windvv2005 @ Mar 12 2007, 08:50 PM) Bro check here! http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/406031/+40yo bro are u sure this is for Lap Top??  i dun think that can really perform cool down for lappy. cos therytically that thing only help sucking off ur processor heat. doesnt healp much. dun think that cooler will perform better than DIY concept cooling pad.

QUOTE(dzoneheng @ Mar 13 2007, 04:06 PM) thats only effective helping blow out the processor heat. but not for all parts like hdds part bottom oso generating heats if u notice that.  In theory it should work lor... cos memang internal airflow from intake to vents are designed from the start and these are tweaked with different fan speeds cos mat salleh always complaint noisy mar. So in essense, that aerocool thing is like turbo charging the fan lor. Theory only lar...

Yeah bro agree, we can't expect it can do more. It is only design for sucking cpu heat mah.Somemore, i like the feature of redirect the air flow.Some laptop's vent design is (shake head lah) right towards our right hand.(apa lah) So this little thigy can safe over hand not being heated (BBQ haha).

I;m thinking of getting some sort of metal plate as the base of my DIY laptop cooler soon.. will the metal material cause problem to my laptop? (eg. electrostatic?)

Just bought this stand.... it's not DIY but just share share niah. It does nuts to the temps but better for ergonomics...easier to type. And it rotates 360 degrees  The cons is that it's plasticky. http://www.jetart.com/style/content/CN-02c...=16111&id=71154Edit again... Just realised rojakpot got review http://www.techarp.com/showarticle.aspx?artno=378&pgno=2This post has been edited by sniper on the roof: Apr 2 2007, 09:37 AM Attached thumbnail(s)

If you are asking me... my lappie temp without cooler 55c~56c after cooler.. 47~49C QUOTE(k!nex @ Apr 2 2007, 10:13 AM) i noticed abt ur DIY cooler,but then, is ur cooler stable to put a laptop on since u're using a plastic file(light and hallow).besides tht,i've another option on cutting a whole on the file using a razor and the side holes u made at the file.i suggest tht u can use a soldering gun instead(remember those days in secondary school?,alat pateri)when u poke hole already den must clean wif soldering flux.easily obtainable at pudu market.no need use so much energy to cut hole and scared later the knife breaks and fly to ur face if use too much energy Not as dangerous.... Trying to minimize my cost and I'm doing that far from my workshop at home. If I'm home, I have a better tools. thanks anyway.. ------------- Still got problem, the fan is too close with the table, causing bad air flow, need to raise the cooler a little to give better air flow.. will find solution later on..
