COST :
CM Notepal U3 RM98 with postage
Cooler Master 120mm Silent Fan x3 RM67 with postage

Power Calculation :
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...
Is it powerful you should know... Aluminium Mesh brows.gif
The power adapter i get from my old modem,\
now days all modem power adapter is 12v, hard to find 5v cry.gif

Extremely silent, only can hear airflow sound

Benchmark :

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

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.

usb is 5V but beware fan power dont over 0.5A or ur usb will burn
how to connect to usb can google for usb pins
