Strategically placed fan don't need to be full speed 12V wan.... or just get some 5V fans

I'm in Taiwan but these things are pretty cheap. Forgot how much di.

AC adaptor kepala kasi potong.... match the black and red wire lor.


Alternatively... if really nbtd.. can get one of those IDE/SATA to USB cables that comes bundled with an AC adaptor for 3.5" HDD.
These adaptor's comes with regular molex and sata power connectors.. provides 2A of 12V power

Headsup.. now there's fan version of my notebook stand

now I'm using notepal infinite, I'm thinking of changing it using adaptor, anyone know what is the voltage for the fan? afraid burning the fan if use 12V
or got any suggestion? thinking of buying a 120mm fan and place it at the back of the cooler

If the original fan is fed via usb.. than it's 5V

Regular fans are 12V

any idea how will this NotePal Infinite http://www.coolermaster.com/products/produ...bcate=1&id=2581 perform?

can i use a 3head usb cable to power this cooler?tats means its gonna be 10v from 2usb port to power this fan & it will run faster.

Use 10 USB ports also will be 5V ler.

then i can only use the adaptor with 5V?

Yes.. not recommended to run fans above their specified voltage. DC fans are not very overclockable.

Hello people..

i hope u guys can help me here...

im using asus intel core 2 duo 2.0 with 1 gig ram.. running on Win Xp..

i install nhc(notebook hardware control) software which helps to read my laptop temp.. and it compatible with the ati radeon built in graphic cards..

im using a 3 fan cooling pad.. which i bought for rm40..

my laptop temp is around 50-55 degrees.. is this normal for a core 2 duo processor? when i use the cooling pad, there's no significant differences on the temp.. plus when im playing a game.. the temp will shoot up to 75-80 degrees..

how do i decrease the temp??

Basically it's like this..

Unlike desktop PC, 50C is your laptop's manufacturer's designed temps. Due to the small space for cooling and noise concerns, the fan will only spins once it reaches a certain temp (in most cases this is 46C to 50C) hence you'll likely to see 50C most of the time.

As for the notebook cooler, it's usefulness really depend on how your lappy's bottom case look like.

There's a thread somewhere where this is discussed.

i diy me cooler pad.. but i wonder if i had wrongly connect the 12v adapter to my 3 fans.. coz they are turning quite slow, the the adapter is v v hot..
anyone cah help?

*and i did test out that, if i only plug ONE fan to 12v adapter, it run faster.. now i run 3 fans, then it become slower...
izit 12v divided by 3 and become 4v each???

How did you wire them?

says fan A, B, C.
A & B each have 1 molex connector, while C have 2 molex connector.
i connect A, B, C together by molex connector, then AC-DC adapter to C's 2nd molex connector.

Hi bro i think as long as u connect them parellely should be no problem.

Bought a 3 fan W1 CoolerMaster Notepal with dissapointing weak 70mmx70mmx15mm 5v fan, just wondering if any of u guys know if there is other similar size and voltage fan that performs better?

thinking of replacing the fan
