just want to share a stupid story here.

my fren is using a table fan to blow and cool the lappy + him + external hdd together at one shot..
and overall is all 3 'items' (including him) are very cool, and when i touched the lappy and external hdd, it doesnt feel hot at all..

so isnt that what we call efficient and effective?

Having some fun with USB... just to test the whole concept whether airflow under the lappy really works or not....

Solder on some wires


Whack in some blower.... don't go overboard though... USB max 500mA


Plug in...


Got difference lar... especially the HDD drop by at least 6C and 2-3C for CPU

That's what I've been telling u dude. My Coolermaster Coolpad really helps. My Ferrari laptop is like a volcano. The Coolpad reduces the HDD temps which is hot as hell.

It's sure hell's isn't efficient. That blower's really blowin a serious amount of air underneath that thing and the temp reduction not that much also.

Besides...it's mainly cooling plastic.

Maybe the blower concept might be useful to my cooler...

Need to check out the local price here..

Tonight will test the "turbo-charge the exhaust fan" extractor concept.

As long as it cools the HDD which is right under the left palm. So hot man the left palm area without the Coolpad.

The heat of plastic is transfered from HD mah you cool the plastic = cool the HD.I wonder if i can cool the HD directly will be wonderfull (no need through the middle man= plastic) .

Since I have nbtd... I left my lappy downloading stuff since this morning with the blower on....

Look at the temps.. especially the HDD temps....28C is better than desktop level. Pity the blower sound like a tornado though...

Hmm, it's capable of maintaining the temperature down to 28C.. wow....

In the next display of nbtd retarded-ness.... me gonna test the "turbo charge the exhaust" fan style of lappy cooling.

The ingredient:

Build a cardboard box... and double tape in the blower




Assembled. See that small hole? that goes to the exhaust fan




Double taped to the exhaust duct... after taking this pic... ALOT more tape are added to ensure efficiency



Now just gotta wait a few minutes for the result

Wow DIY blower with an amazing HD temp!!! Thumbs!!!

Results out for the exhaust box thingy



Temps are ok for HDD but really big change for CPU.... at least 8C drop on idle.

very impressive outcome , where to get this kind of blower? USB? it sucks the air out rite?

wakakakak i got the ideal to build my next notebook cooler wkaka !! THX sniper you inspired me!! thx thx!!

snipe, your company no business again ar.......walao eh.....so free can do so much nonsense in office

noisy die noisy die... dun tell me u wanna use it for long hours?

Sniper, do you just simply place the cardboard box below the laptop?

turbo charging the exhaust vent is overkill man.. LOL

It's just a 5V blower I had lying around. I think it's from an old P4 notebook or something.

Basically these days, notebook coolers have 3 types right?

- Standard passive stand
- Stand with fans
- That aerocool thing that clips to exhaust that some says works and some say is a waste of money.

Just testing which 3 method is more geng... not for permanent use wan. Maybe will come out with something later to use with 24/7 downloading. Something to cool down everything inside including the HDD.


Lotsa lotsa tape to avoid air leakage
