I think he removed the molex connector.
Then he stick all the red wires together and the black wires together to the power adaptor.

done mine. curi2 some idea from this thread. using USB port as power supply 5volt only, the fan is not fast enough. manage to reduce 6C.

the fan was set up to suck out the hot air. small holes was made to vent out the hot air from the side.

nice idea from bezet to use a plastic folder
Care to share how you cut the blower fan hole ?

using cutter. available in your local bookstore. just draw the circle using a drawing compas (the one with both needle). then use the cutter to cut it step by step and it damn hard to do.
just be patient

Excellent bezet, welcome to DIY notebook user club

How to connect it to the fan for those using power adaptor or USB?
Mind to show some pics?

hi sorry no digicam currently, but will describe as detail as possible

basically is cutting the adapter connector as well as the fan's, then connect them together and use electronic plaster to tape them

i used to connect the adapter like the pic below, sorry for the bad drawing

Plastic file

why not use some performance 120mm fans?.. quieter and better airflow..

damn.. laggy streamyx.. double posted.. sorry

What type of adaptor? What bout those connect to usb?

adapter image is posted at earlier post at the 1st notebook cooler i done

usb wise, there'll be 4 tiny wires, connect both side wires into with the fan, in other words, connect 1st & 4th wires w the fan

hehe bezet should be using extra fan, dun wanna spend extra

With adaptor can archieve 12v for higher fan speed.
With usb only 5v which result in slower speed. Am I right?
My friend said using adaptor waste of electricity.

Then get a 5V fan lor...

Using 5V on a 12V obviously results in slow speeds

hehe yeah, but through the adaptor oso, u can adjust ur speed

all the while i was setting it to 6v only for optimal performance and silent, too strong doesnt bring much drop to celcius too

u can always use usb, i ignore it becoz i wan to use my usb for other devices

bezet...,why didn't you put more fans man?......or maybe one larger one?....

Hehe.. the fan here is exspensive . So better use one for now. until I can find those big HD fan. but the catch using Plastic File is that the fan must be thin enough.

hehehe...

for the usb power source. If you open the USB cable. you will get 4 small wire inside. Green, white, black and red. Ignore the White and green. We will be using the black and red wire. connect the wire to your fan... and you are done...

Just to add, USB can only supply maximum 5V at 500mA per port. So make sure your current consumption doesn't exceed the specified rating (500mA). If exceeded, any of these can happen:
- nothing happen (your USB port is out of spec)
- overcurrent triggerred, shuting off USB voltage circuit to avoid further damage.
- you've burn your USB port.

To the tread starter, you get the acrylic for RM15 for how many feet square?
