waitin for the pic...wan to ask, u upgrade it by adding another fan o change the fan?? and how do u power up the fan if the fan need 12V??

adding another fan.. originally got 2 x 5V fan, powered by USB.. then i add 1 more fan..

for the 12V fan, i modified it, connect the fan with AC power adapter.. currently i add this fan to my router, as it on 24hr non stop, easy to get hot..

can u share wit us how u modified your 12v fan to connect to your ac power adapter?? n wat type of adapter u using??

Just find any adapter >.< as long same voltage but make sure the watt rating does not differ very much. Just go to the electric shop and ask for a 12v adapter >.<

Mine cooler master X1 fan changed with 12V cooler master fan lagi umph ...but then got a lot of dust

Hi sifus,i am planning to built a cooler pad for my laptop since i am very free recently.Juz want some suggestion or opinions from all of you.the flat one cooler pad or the cooler pad which got angle one (incline about 10-15 degrees ) ,which one is better?

Both got pro and cons

For me I go for angled since the laptop height is a problem for me.

how to change tis power adapter to a smaller one,can i change to 3 pins or 2 pins plug?this one is huge and heavy to carry.any ideas?

At least yours is smaller than mine >.<
Maybe can use the adapter for IDE/SATA to USB adapter 12V rating 2 A lightweight but.... cable are long and take up more space ....

the adapter for IDE/SATA to USB adapter,what is this? (srry i am a newbies ).can show me the picture about this adapter.

basically i'm using adapter like this one..


just cut the wire an connect to the fan according to +- terminal.. and set the adapter to 12V..

both can.. but i prefer tilt design.. before u built the pad, make sure u already study the air flow of your laptop's cooler.. different laptop have different design of air flow.. some got exhaust at side, some on the back.. most important things is the air flow design, not how strong the fan blow air.. if your air flow design cun, then ordinary 12V fan is enough..huhu..

refer to this picture..


see the power supply adapter? he means dat thing..huhu..

can i know how much is d adapter dat u bought??

RM10-20 for me XD Universal Adapter
Better If you can salvage those unused adapter

yesterday i went to ACE hardware shop...d power adapter selling price rm24++

wahhh so EXP ..... I think I get mine at RM15 >.<

Now thinking of modifying my current cooler .....

Cooler Master X1 base
Fan Long Life Cooler Master Fan 2000 rpm at 12V [Blue]

This gonna be EXP to modify the current setup XD
I wan to ask Is it better to blow the air to the base or suck the air out ....
Since the X1 factory design are supposed to blow the air upward .......

My lappy running at 24/7 most of the time ..... need it to be more cooler

Go econsave,giant,tesco o any there,there sell even cheaper,only 10 something

Blow will be cooler, it means more dust on ur laptop too

It's a trade off of performance vs dust

Too true XD

Last month the fan was positioned to blow upward .... 2000rpm everyday
1 week the pad already showing visible bunny dust >.< scared all my laptop hole will be filled with dust.

Now it is positioned to suck the air downward at 2000rpm ...... the tradeoff is very obvious my keypad seem warm at 45-50 C last time it was cool enough ....... add more fan or increase the blow out hole for the fan

mind to share ur pic for the cooler after modified??

Okay will post it ASAP

Actually there was no Major mod to the cooler base. Thinking of making the fan hole bigger ....
Just added some lighting and change the original CM fan with the 2000rpm CM fan and using power adapter.....

Blue LED are really payah to find ...... I mean those bright one ..... found some super bright red LED and it is very cheap >.< ~!! and I mean really cheap XD

Here the picture as promised ...... haven't finish though no idea where to squish another fan on it~


Everyone are welcomed to give me idea to mod this thing.
