yup the rpm and cfm will reduce

hey guys, i doubt that will self-made cooler more effective than cooler on the market???
wat bout the branded cooler "CM", since it seems to be popular.

on my opinion...the diy cooler...is depend on what material and those thing u used to made it...cant really say it will be more effective...
CM...i have no idea on that since i dint use any model of CM yet...

My cooler is making my notebook base hotter because it got NO HOLES AT ALL in the base. Any solution?

yes i agree for above statement...it would be more effective if the cooler layout(fan) is blowing on the right location such as the rocesor intake...to maximize the laptop cooling you have to set the cooler layout according to your laptop layout...

where can i buy acrylic? any recommendation shop?

gud job!

Nice one guys. Any good examples of DIY-ed fans for Studio XPS 16?

guys , i have a idea , can i user the power supply for my DIY cooling pad ??
which means i use the electric but not the usb cable

any one try it before ??
and is that the speed of fan will be difference by using the power supply n the usb ?!

Any idea how to make it powerd by USB or Plug? Meaning can use any of those.

by usb,u hav to buy 5v fan.

erm then normal cooler master fan can support power supply ??
scared over vlotage

better handle with care when playing with 12v...
add resistors and fuses for safety just incase..if ur fan boom..then bye bye le..
just need to know the wiring and so on to enable usb and plug compliant~

because u might end up with

Fried Fan

but i not confirm my fren say that this is possible n can increase the speed of fan

if i'm not wrong, the voltage doesn't do much
only the amperage is the one that increases the speed of a fan

say. i want to make 2 source of power.
USB and Adapter.

If I use 12V fan but using on USB. What will happen?

And what are the best way to cool it?
I see 3rd party cooler mostly draw hot air out.
Should I follow this method?

i guess it would be sucking out d heat..thru which hole r u goin' to blowing cool air?..

okai..jsut finished my plojek..this is my cincai cooler pad..


im using power adapter which i tune to 7.5V..tried 12V but cant bear with the noise

result: b4


after


heh..quite surprise of the effect..
budget: 2 80mm fan RM9 * 2
polistrene..free..bought samsung lcd the day b4..
adapter: oredi got
some 'sepit'-dont know wat it's called..to clip wire@as connecter - 2 pcs * RM2

update: whoops..wrong attchmnt uploaded..oredi fixed

Added on March 1, 2010, 4:03 pmyep..just like wat i did..im using power adaptor so i can freely choose which voltage want to use..more voltage = more rpm = more noise = more karen..

will the fan damage if overvoltage?..for me, it's not..yet..but, im sure the lifespan of the fan will decrease a lot if not using designed voltage..

just wanna ask... if i use a 12v fan and plug it in to the laptop's usb port, will it cause any problem (ignoring the 3rd wire-yellow)? if possible, then can i wire two 12v fans together and use the same usb port?

i know the recommended one would be powering the fans directly via power adapter rather than usb. can someone explain how to do it with a speed controller and the whole wiring thing?

the fans will only be receiving 5v as thats the USBs power. and will run slower than it would at 12v

yes u can wire 2 12v fans and use the same USB port....BUT depends on the amperage of the fans...the USB ports dont really have much amperage.
