QUOTE(Irbean @ Dec 13 2011, 09:41 AM) nice. btw how much it cost you? and the metal plate underneath, where can find such plate? or is it the normal cooling fan with additional custom fan attached? pls advise total nearing RM100 bcoz I use a lot of fans XD , but its okay with me since im an enthusiast  . The plate comes from Cooler Master Notepal U3 , I sell its fans for RM60 . I bought those 12cm n 9cm fans separately

I thought there's shop selling only for the metal plate. BTW, its nice!

CM 90cfm is not too good to use for cooler pad .. 3 died on me oledy .... IMO noticed after 3 died ~_~ ..since the cm use sleeve bearing ..and we mounted the fan at an angled position ..the bearing just cannot tahan ... 3 of my fan all die by the same way ..fan stuck ..so I suspect the bearing and it a waste really getting an led fan for a cooler pad ...once u put the laptop onto it ..nothing comes out  ..I'm talking based on my experience ....better buy some led and DIY hahahaha plus once u installed a high flow fan ..make sure u have some 10mm clearance between ur pad and ur laptop if not the fan would be struggling to push the air out ...or if it sucking in make sure the backside have some clearance also ~ adding some pad would help alot

QUOTE Should you throw out every single fan that uses sleeve bearings? No. Should you never ever buy a heatsink with sleeve bearings? That's up to you. With proper lubrication sleeve bearings will provide performance and service on par with that of their ball bearing counterparts. If left alone for a long time, and run at higher temperatures they will fail before the ball bearings will. With some fans using both bearing systems the lines become blurred...
For things like powersupplies it makes much more sense to only use ball bearing based fans. For CPU coolers that are on for extended periods of the time the same goes. For the average home PC which is on intermittently, sleeve bearings are a fine choice. For overclockers running Peltiers, ball bearings should be the only kind of fan considered. That said the decision truely depends upon the circumstances, and the quality of the fan being considered.
For my sleeve bearing fans I think I'll go put a small dab of grease under that sticker just to be on the safe side ;-) SOSBall Bearing more good~ ...in my case the fan is ON 24/7 ...I usually dun turn my laptop off
