QUOTE(sniper on the roof @ Apr 6 2007, 11:32 PM) 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 Bro so wat is the conclusion of ur experiment?  |

QUOTE(windvv2005 @ Apr 7 2007, 02:23 PM) For my lappy at least.. I think the "turbo exhaust" method is more interesting for me especially when during high load operation like gaming. Don't really have a HDD temp problem to begin (even after days of downloading) so the blow bottom thing is not useful for me. |

I have done modding a cheap metal cooling pad planned to make a arcylic type cooling next month  |

But if u have ur hdd or CPU have better air cooling system, then u can custom do ur notebook cooler. |

anyone know, if reapply the thermal paste like using AS5 or MX-1, will it help to reduce temp for few degrees?
i doubt the stock thermal paste is running on optimum?

Well, C2D shouldn't be that hot.. it seems that your heatsink & processor contact is not so good. Something wrong wif it. Can try to remove the heatsink, clean the exisiting paste N apply new one.. I think that should help... |
