I heard it's pretty dangerous...
Full fan speed which supports 12v while the usb is only 5v , scare overloaded QUOTE the problem would be that most fans are 12 volt, usb is 5 volt. you would need a fan that was designed for that usb power. also the 5 volt usb supply is a limited curent supply and can easly be overloaded. Source |

help... i bought very powerful 120mm fans and the air flow is crazy...
and i bought 3... their demissons are 120mm x 120mm x 25mm i install them under the CM notepal u3 and the airflow is ***king imba bottom was no enough air to suck and cant get full air flow cus the holes blocked the air flow cus the air flow too large... damn crazy... u might dun belive the air will reflect from the laptop bottom case and return to the fan... so it ***king noisy... I've wired up 3x 120mm fans to adapter... I have CM Notepal U3 and 3x 120mm fans... any suguessions for me to get nice air flow and good perfomance? I tried to do the case with box but the fan is ***king heavy... its annoying i really don't know i am happy or angry...lmao This post has been edited by NoobHacker: Apr 23 2011, 10:28 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

The old fan i used for my modem cooler, and i used 5V usb adapter to power up it so it won't noisy...
I get another one  QUOTE ITEMS USED : 1. CM Notepal U3 Aluminium Body 2. 3x CM 120mm Blue LED Silent Fan 3. Linksys Router Adapter (1A, 12V) 4. 2-pin Female Connector comes with CM Silent Fan 5. Some Wire Tapes, Double Rubber Tapes and Wire Connectors        QUOTE COST : CM Notepal U3 RM98 with postage Cooler Master 120mm Silent Fan x3 RM67 with postage Sold CM Notepal Stock Fan RM60 with postage So Remove postages total cost is RM93 QUOTE Power Calculation : Is it powerful you should know... Aluminium Mesh Adapter : 12V, 1A Fan : 12V, 0.37A Each (0.02A for LED i think, 4 of them, 0.005A for each LED) Total : 12V, 1.11A So the fan isn't spinning at full speed... The power adapter i get from my old modem,\ now days all modem power adapter is 12v, hard to find 5v  Extremely silent, only can hear airflow sound Benchmark : QUOTE On Foot : GPU : 70°C : CPU : 72°C Cm Cool : GPU : 42°C : CPU : 42°C Ambient Temperature : 25° Air Conditional Added on May 14, 2011, 3:06 pm QUOTE(skeleton202 @ May 2 2011, 11:06 PM) does it will work if i juz buy 120mm fan n convert to make it usb powered n put it on handfon usb plug? the fan will goes slower if your fan is 12vso that i can get current direct instead of from laptop.. any comment how the result?  Added on May 14, 2011, 3:06 pm QUOTE(mieeshell @ May 8 2011, 08:04 PM) is belkin cooling pad good? I dun like belkin products because they are expensive...Added on May 14, 2011, 3:46 pmI strongly recommend to clean your laptop's heat sink before you get a cooler... Also change its Thermal Paste to Arctic Silver 5 ,Tuniq TX4, Arctic MX-4 etc. Works great for me, btw i don't need a laptop cooler anymore for now, thats a gift for my sister's birthday...

yea...i am so happy my laptop's heat sink is hot for now...and the temperature is balanced... unlike before only CPU and GPU part is hot like boil water...now all bottom parts are warm... so with cooler will be perfect
Added on May 14, 2011, 6:14 pmBefore you get laptop cooler you should think why your laptop so hot, is it so hot when you just bought the laptop, if yes, clean the dusts This post has been edited by NoobHacker: May 31 2011, 05:07 PM |

hi all, i'm new here
i own a cm U3 cooler i buy 2x 120x120x25mm 90cfm cm fan to add on to the u3 cooler so now in total the u3 have 5 fans. the power supply, i use PSU but never try use software to check how much it brought down the temperature of my laptop. one bad things about the modification is that, the new fan it just reflect back once it hit on the laptop. so it become like blowing backward -,- anyone have any idea to improve that? i also thinking to mod my u3 by using water cooling lolz. |
