hey guys, great thread
thinking of doing a diy laptop for my benq s73g, which is bloody hot lol
but i'm thinking of only powering it using usb, for portability.

my plans so far is to use a cardboard ring binder (probably will find someway to strengthen it a bit ) and 2 fans

since i'll be using usb to power it, and according to this thread, will only get around 5v, do you guys have any fans to recommend? (actually i know squat about fans since i've never built my own rig)

any help would be appreciated

hey dude, how much reduction are you getting on this?
also how did you secure the fans?

hi deleted,

i just use strong glue like UHU to stick to the files card board,hehe

about the reduction,i forgot to take temp,will let u know

hey guys!!!
how do we know that the holes or the fans underneath our lappies are blowing or sucking in air? and the holes for the memory....we blow in air or suck hot air out?

and...can i use 2 fans with one usb?

haha thx for everyone's help!!!

I think the best practice would be to suck it out, rather than blowing it in.

As for two fans with one USB connection, I think it's possible considering that most (if not all) commercial laptop coolers have more than one fans but only one USB head, isn't it?

ya,i have try it out using usb with 2 fans,
but not enough power to keep the fans running at full speed as the usb power only deliver 5v only,
better use the adapter for the fans to fully performs

Hi all i'm new here , wanna ask where can I can the adapter or connecter for the fan to the USB Port in the lappie ?

u can try ask at electronic shop for 12 volt adapter,
u need to mod it o connect to the fans

Component shops or just rip it off an old mouse or something lor.

No point using an adaptor right... so bulky. Most 12V fan will run 5V as well... just slower. Just get one that runs fast to begin with lor... and remember.. USB port max is 0.5A. Don't exceed that.

reviving an old thread.. hehe..

story about my cooler.. after finished my uni life, go back home and decide to make a proper plexiglass housing for it.. following the same format as the blue plastic file.

Went to some shop and ask them to cut it down to size. Assemble everything...

put the laptop on it and use it for like a few weeks then the damn laptop Mobo died on me... l

moral of the story: never use a cheap laptop to play game, no matter how good your DIY cooler is.. haha..

seldom, i wanna makes too ...

Hi guys,

i am working as an engineer, and i happen to have some scrap material to use for my coolerpad, it's a 3mm SUS304 (stainless steel) Board with lots of holes across the whole board, about 6mm..

i know that have air circulation below the laptop will improve the temp by a lot, but this is normally because other coolerpads are make of plastic, conduction with the metal should help to remove the heat faster, ZALMAN NC1000 is make of alu, and i believe that its not in contact with the laptop, there's a small gap inbetween them..

now i was thinking since i am using stainless steel, (conductivity higher then alu) would it be alot better if i make my coolerpad so that it will be in contact with my laptop?

i will be making the coolerpad when i get my laptop in end may, or maybe i might just start to make it first, my laptop is F8Is from ASUS...

will be showing you all pictures when it's done.. i should be installing 4 low noise fans..

thats sound like a good idea... pic spam once you done..

You need to find a way to mould/fabricate the sheet metal to that it touch the part where your laptop is the hottest use a heat transfer material maybe????. But make sure the sheet metal doesnt block your laptop air vents.

One of my coursemate fabricate a laptop cooler from sheet aluminum.. and it done a great job reducing the temperature and mine was made from aclyric with a huge fan...

there's a very fast fan sold at acehardware..about RM60..lol..
a lot of people bought it..the size is if i'm not wrong..120mm
powered straight from the plug ^^

hmmm ok i guess i will find out the location of the CPU and the HDD, then i will cut out some heat radiation pads that i have, to stick it there, for the rest of the location i will depend on my air circulation from the holes, the radiation pads are quite expensive tho

just want 2 know..

i)fan air flow should go through inside lappy or

ii)suck it out from lappy?

iii)or either one..means etc. one fan go in & the other one go out??

which one d best???
i think its better DIY
coz diff lappy diff vents..

some works better when the air flow goes down
some works better when the air flow goes up
there was a review of a laptop cooling pad..it was made in a way that it can be placed either way..surprisingly..the guy that did the review..tested both ways which is what i've said..
if i'm not wrong, his vaio's temp was better when the cooling pad sucks the air whereas his dell's temp was better when the cooling pad blows the air
well, just perform some tryouts on ur laptop to know whether the temp is lower when the air flow of the cooling pad blows the laptop or sucks the air..
haha, maybe get 4 fans..2 for blowing, 2 for sucking or 2 big fans..1 for blowing, 1 for sucking =D
