U all need to rise up the laptop from the mesh if not the air wont be able to push easily ..put some foam under the laptop or at the cooler.

Heat problem for notebooks nowadays are treated as normal, thus notebook cooler become essential. DIY cooler is still best for long hours notebook usage as they hv the best cooling effect.

Objective: To achieve cost effective cooler for 24hours long usage downloading

Well,i have a few question i want to ask about making a DIY cooler pad for laptop..So first question is, if the fan is rated DC12V and 0.2A,i make it to a usb powered fan(by cutting the wire and connect red to red and black to black by soldering it),can it work in its full potential (like its max RPM)?Second question,does the diameter of the fan effect the fan speed?Last question,where can i actually get this acrylic?Stationary shop?Pardon me..its kinda long..first time making a fan myself.. icon_question.gif sweat.gif
