Easiest way is to get two 2006 phonebooks (FOC) to lift up the lappie to ensure adequate airflow for the intake fan.
 no problems with heat, folding 24/7 with a celeron non mobile 2.6ghzThis post has been edited by ceo684: Jan 23 2006, 01:53 AM |

nice but too tall. should make the front portion of the leg lower. can reduce rsi and also increase air flow since the exhaust air is behind and hot air rises.
try to make a acrylic stand with some LEDs sure make the blink out of it This post has been edited by Vervain: Jan 23 2006, 03:04 AM |

Great job, nice design and congrats on achieving your target, providing cooling to the places needed to be cooled and not somewhere random
 Merely just an input, since we are talking abt laptops. Is there anyway we can add a battery pad (also known as external battery) at the bottom of our laptop and add fan built-in with it powered by the laptop's power cable, meaning power cable into the pad and charge it as well as power to the fans. Pads will be connected to the power inlet of the laptop to power it. Thus we will be able to have extended power along with air circulation too. Below is an example of a battery pad along with the charger set. This post has been edited by tutiger: May 28 2006, 08:16 PM Attached thumbnail(s)

I'm thinking of doing one for myself in a week time since most of my assignments due this week. Boleh tunjuk ajar bro? it's simple  1) measure ur laptop for buying acrylic, find out ur notebook heat area so tht ur fan is designed at the heat area 2) choose the amount of fan n size u wan (i take 12cm fan as it's silent n has great airflow) 3) buy adapter, either 500mAH, 800mAH or 1000mAH, the higher the greater ur fan will run when u full load it 4) take ur fan n goto those shop which sells arcylic (i used 2.5mm thick arcylic, 3mm oso can), tell him ur idea n give him the fan for reference 5) make sure u do not miss out the hole for screws when the shop makes the blowhole, every blowhole n screw hole is done by the seller 6) now arcylic kaodim, go buy the red rubber tube (any size as long as taller than the fan) n screw w nuts for the red rubber tube 7) screw them all, cut ur fan n adapter wire, connect it to the fan n remember to use tape to wrap the joint part, n u r done QUOTE(nelienuxe_sara @ Aug 15 2006, 05:07 PM) still got the wooden one oledi give to LYN member last time i would like to get it since my home is very close to ur wangsa melawati gimme ur phone no la so i can contact u |

This concept is more interesting I think.... like turbo boosting existing lappy cooler rather than just cooling plastic. |

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. This post has been edited by bezet: Dec 7 2006, 12:37 AM Attached thumbnail(s)

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. |

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. |

I don't know whats the different between perspex and acrylic. and the guy who sell me the transparent stuff said it wasn't acrylic. and acrylic is more expensive.
So, this is my cooling pad, and this is the 1st time I DIY stuff for my computer.   Materials used: 12" x 14" transparent perspex RM 22 ( including making the hole by the guy who sell me Fan RM 0 (from broken PSU) Currently, I am using the power from 12V dry battery. My laptop is now cooler than before. |

Easiest way to connect the adaptor to a fan. Cut off the adaptor's head(the round one). Strip off the wire exposing it with a positive and negative wire. Strip off the wires of the fan. Connect the adaptor's wires and the fan's wire. Use adhesive tape or solder to create a relaible joint. Done! Don't worry much. It's just 12VDC anyway. Not enough to kill a rat.

Can, but the speed of the fan is not as fast as 12V. make sure you connect the correct side of the positive and the negative. If not, your fan will not spin (but it will not spoil the fan)

Hi all, this is my DIY laptop cooler. Made using ring file and some masking tape.
3 quater view:  Left profile:  Right profile:  Cooler in action (left):  Cooler in action (right):  How it works: The fan sucks in cool air from outside. The two cutouts on the cooler pad direct cool air from the fan to the base of the laptop where the cutouts are ideally located just below the CPU and GPU. Cool air takes the heat away from the base as it expel from the laptop. The cooler pad can be custom make to suit the design of your laptop. The best thing is the cutouts can be custom make to suit the design of your laptop so that they are located directly below the CPU/GPU/HDD. Unlike conventional laptop cooler, the fan does not suck in dust from your desk as it faces upwards. Even if it does, the placement of the fan means any particles being sucked into the cooler pad would settle on the inside of the cooler instead of the base of your laptop. Lets check out the performance: Test is conducted using a Compaq Presario B3800 Centrino P-M 1.6Ghz. Idle without cooler: 
Idle with cooler fan off: 
Idle with cooler fan on: 
Load without cooler: 
Load with cooler fan off: 
Load with cooler fan on: 
Result: The cooler brings the idle temperature down as much as 12C!  Prime95 was used to test load temperatures. As you can see, the laptop is 20C cooler when the cooler is used!! Cost: Ring file RM2 80mm fan RM3 Masking tape RM1 Total: RM 6 only!! This post has been edited by nerd nation: Jan 5 2007, 11:15 AM |

@nerd nation
judging by the molex on the fan...it seems like ur running ur fan off a PSU... which would make it run at 12v (usually) but if u connect the fan to the USB port itll be running on only 5v.. have u tried running the fan at 5v? if not.. y not give it a try...kinda curious on how much improvement ull get with 5V also curious to know the difference in temps between the fan blowing in cool air (which is the current position) and sucking out hot air (the fan reversed). curious to know these 2 setups with 12v and 5v |

Compared to blowing the performance is much poorer, which is why i chose to have the fan in blowing position. |

nice work nerd nation, the fan is designed outside to let the laptop has better position
on the other hand it looks dangerous if there are kids at ur home and yeah u can try to use the multi volt adapter, if u wan to use usb and maintain similar fan performance, u hv to change to more powerful fan, when runs at 5v, it'll be just right for ur taste |

The speed of the fan will proportionally decrease as the number of fans increase, even all fan get 5V. Hmm... generally, 12V fan is stronger.any how bout question no 1 and 2... I'll leave question 1 and 2 for experienced forumers. |

glass?? That would be abit hard to make a hole on a glass but nice try!!!My opinion is using wat kind of frame/base for the fans is not very important and it can only help to lower down 1 or 2 celsius and sometimes no effect at all.The key is the position of the fans or the air flow is pointing to the heat source. Eventhough,fan's speed is low,the fan position is towards to heat source u can still lower the temp.Just my 2 cents.

If you buy Acer laptop, it will sure overheat. They fans will go spinning like crazy with noise. And if you check it, acer laptop have only temp sensor for hard disk. Don't have sensor for CPU temp. Acer HDD temp already high (55 C) compare with other brands (42 C) so what do you expect from its CPU temp? Sure damn high until wanna overheat n burst. So stay away from Acer for a peace of mind.
I use the Cooler Master Notepal aluminium cooler and it really works to bring down 5 C on my lappie. |

I think the new generation of Acer laptop got CPU sensor ald! My friend's acer laptop(14.1'' core duo, x1600,aluminium or magnesium lid) not sure wat model.The CPU temp and the HD temp can be seen in N.H.C.However, you are right the HD temp is 55c and the cpu temp is 60c idle %%^*($$. Therefore he try to use cooling pad to cool down.Now the CPU is 55c the HD temp is pretty well 40+c only.

Agree! let me start 1st
Compaq V3164au(amd) With Cooler Without Cooler CPU temp : 41C 45C HD temp : 45C 47C Room temp around 30C Discussion : The HD temp is only reduce in a very small amount.The reason is the fan position is not right to the HD region. conclusion: I will try to make a better one .

Hmmm...lot of idea. Basically im thinking using glass modding
gonna have it a try not sure its work or not. Nid glasswork to help mi complete this project ^^ hope i will join u guys n let u c my works. if its success!! Temp will make some cheap n low costing pad for my lappy since its 24hours working. Not a wise idea to use like that without pad. Somemore celeron M processor imagine how hot is that >.< |

i think hand gonna suffer if put the lappy on that thing.........so tall.....
nothing special. He just modded with fan control only just get 4 valuable resistor grab one 16V 1000ma adapter then wiring all. u will have one similar like that but issit too high for using that cooler? unless that stuff mound under the table.Means the table have to cut a hole to fit in that stuff then i guess should b fine bah |

well i guess the diy project which have done by the forumer here. effectively cooldown lappy. yet i built one with mobo box for testing purpose n got one from supplier which is running 3 fan aluminion pad. found that my own design is better cooling than the manufacturer. but looks sucky lol

In theory it should work lor... cos memang internal airflow from intake to vents are designed from the start and these are tweaked with different fan speeds cos mat salleh always complaint noisy mar.So in essense, that aerocool thing is like turbo charging the fan lor.

Yeah bro agree, we can't expect it can do more. It is only design for sucking cpu heat mah.Somemore, i like the feature of redirect the air flow.Some laptop's vent design is (shake head lah) right towards our right hand.(apa lah) So this little thigy can safe over hand not being heated (BBQ haha).

And it rotates 360 degrees The cons is that it's plasticky. http://www.jetart.com/style/content/CN-02c...=16111&id=71154 Edit again...

just want to share a stupid story here.
my fren is using a table fan to blow and cool the lappy + him + external hdd together at one shot.. and overall is all 3 'items' (including him) are very cool, and when i touched the lappy and external hdd, it doesnt feel hot at all.. so isnt that what we call efficient and effective?

Having some fun with USB... just to test the whole concept whether airflow under the lappy really works or not....
Solder on some wires  Whack in some blower.... don't go overboard though... USB max 500mA  Plug in...  Got difference lar... especially the HDD drop by at least 6C and 2-3C for CPU  |

Look at the temps.. especially the HDD temps....28C is better than desktop level. Pity the blower sound like a tornado though...  |

In the next display of nbtd retarded-ness.... me gonna test the "turbo charge the exhaust" fan style of lappy cooling.
The ingredient: Build a cardboard box... and double tape in the blower  Assembled. See that small hole? that goes to the exhaust fan  Double taped to the exhaust duct... after taking this pic... ALOT more tape are added to ensure efficiency  Now just gotta wait a few minutes for the result |

Don't really have a HDD temp problem to begin (even after days of downloading) so the blow bottom thing is not useful for me. |

anyone know, if reapply the thermal paste like using AS5 or MX-1, will it help to reduce temp for few degrees?
i doubt the stock thermal paste is running on optimum? |

Well, C2D shouldn't be that hot.. it seems that your heatsink & processor contact is not so good. Something wrong wif it. Can try to remove the heatsink, clean the exisiting paste N apply new one.. I think that should help... |

guys, i'm planning to do my own cooler pad but i'm wondering, if i buy the vizo 80mm fan with speed of 5800rpm, is a 12v adapter enough for me to get the maximum speed?and btw, i know there's a few compaq v3000 user here complaining bout the heat..i have an idea actually..if you guys notice the hole for the gc fans(at the top left bottom of your laptop), its only open for 1/4..if you guys can poke the rest of the holes(meaning full circle),it can suck in more air into the GC..logically it will la but i havent done it cause i dont have the right tools to do it..maybe some of you can try..cheers..

Unlike desktop PC, 50C is your laptop's manufacturer's designed temps. Due to the small space for cooling and noise concerns, the fan will only spins once it reaches a certain temp (in most cases this is 46C to 50C) hence you'll likely to see 50C most of the time. As for the notebook cooler, it's usefulness really depend on how your lappy's bottom case look like. There's a thread somewhere where this is discussed. |

Materials used, -Cheapo cooling pad(free when bought laptop) -foam (found somewhere in my house) -double sidded tape Heres a ss with 12v powered cooler. xD

QUOTE(MildLO @ Dec 7 2008, 04:13 AM) hi, Hi MildLO! Thank you for the reply!i think it can be moded ,but i dunno which wire for your four wire to be connected to the adapter,(maybe red,and black only needed) i give example of mine, for my fans,i got 2 wire,which is red and black, i cut both wire from the molex connector,and also the 12v power adapter, i just connected the red wire from fans to the black white stripe wire from the power adapter, and the black wire from the fans connected to the black wire from the adapter, and just on it, all working fine, make sure there is no contact between black and red wire which are already connected to the adapter wire, it will coz the fans not function, just seperate it p/s :this is just axample from my fans,any modification is your own risk May I have a close up view of the modifications done? Thank you so much! |

hi DFlo,
Here are the pic: My setup,using the files cardboard only :
this is the red wire from the fans connected to the black white stripe wire from the adapter, i cut the connector originally from the power adapter and i use the wire to connected it to the red wire from the fans, i just twisted it together to connect it, i got 2 fans function while the other one i just disconnected it ,u can see 2 red wire in the picture: 
this is the black wire from the fans and the black wire from the power adapter, just the same method,cut it,and twist it together to connect each other, here are the blurry pic 
hope it can help u,sorry for blur picture This post has been edited by MildLO: Dec 7 2008, 09:38 PM |

Hey there MildLO, thank you so much for the pictures!
I have tried to wire my fan to the adapter according to your method - red to black white, black to black - but the fan won't spin. Now I'm wondering whether the current is not enough - the adapter is giving out 500mA, whereas the fan needs 1.40A? This post has been edited by DFlo: Dec 8 2008, 01:57 AM |

hey guys, great thread
thinking of doing a diy laptop for my benq s73g, which is bloody hot lol but i'm thinking of only powering it using usb, for portability. my plans so far is to use a cardboard ring binder (probably will find someway to strengthen it a bit ) and 2 fanssince i'll be using usb to power it, and according to this thread, will only get around 5v, do you guys have any fans to recommend? (actually i know squat about fans since i've never built my own rig) any help would be appreciated QUOTE(MildLO @ Dec 7 2008, 09:35 PM) hi DFlo, hey dude, how much reduction are you getting on this?

As for two fans with one USB connection, I think it's possible considering that most (if not all) commercial laptop coolers have more than one fans but only one USB head, isn't it? |

reviving an old thread.. hehe..
story about my cooler.. after finished my uni life, go back home and decide to make a proper plexiglass housing for it.. following the same format as the blue plastic file. Went to some shop and ask them to cut it down to size. Assemble everything... put the laptop on it and use it for like a few weeks then the damn laptop Mobo died on me... l moral of the story: never use a cheap laptop to play game, no matter how good your DIY cooler is.. haha.. |

Hi guys,
i am working as an engineer, and i happen to have some scrap material to use for my coolerpad, it's a 3mm SUS304 (stainless steel) Board with lots of holes across the whole board, about 6mm.. i know that have air circulation below the laptop will improve the temp by a lot, but this is normally because other coolerpads are make of plastic, conduction with the metal should help to remove the heat faster, ZALMAN NC1000 is make of alu, and i believe that its not in contact with the laptop, there's a small gap inbetween them.. now i was thinking since i am using stainless steel, (conductivity higher then alu) would it be alot better if i make my coolerpad so that it will be in contact with my laptop? i will be making the coolerpad when i get my laptop in end may, or maybe i might just start to make it first, my laptop is F8Is from ASUS... will be showing you all pictures when it's done.. i should be installing 4 low noise fans.. |

You need to find a way to mould/fabricate the sheet metal to that it touch the part where your laptop is the hottest use a heat transfer material maybe????. But make sure the sheet metal doesnt block your laptop air vents. One of my coursemate fabricate a laptop cooler from sheet aluminum.. and it done a great job reducing the temperature and mine was made from aclyric with a huge fan... |

some works better when the air flow goes down
some works better when the air flow goes up there was a review of a laptop cooling pad..it was made in a way that it can be placed either way..surprisingly..the guy that did the review..tested both ways which is what i've said.. if i'm not wrong, his vaio's temp was better when the cooling pad sucks the air whereas his dell's temp was better when the cooling pad blows the air well, just perform some tryouts on ur laptop to know whether the temp is lower when the air flow of the cooling pad blows the laptop or sucks the air.. haha, maybe get 4 fans..2 for blowing, 2 for sucking or 2 big fans..1 for blowing, 1 for sucking =D This post has been edited by Jinster: Apr 2 2009, 11:20 PM |

i use CM notepal all aluminum for my cq40-133ax (damn hot this lappie!!)..i can only play GRID for max 1.5hr then this this lappie will hang..HDD became very hot n same with the vent hole. eventhough notepal has 2 fans but it's located at da wrong site, so i guess i need a DIY cooler (can't buy table fan due to my Uni hostel rule)..my plan r:
1. use someone idea of using plastic file 2. place 2 high speed thermaltake fan (planning to run it full speed) 3. using 12V 4. place cheap 4 USB port |

yesterday just made one DIY notebook cooler...
.. take me about 2 hour to find the part around my home and shop and only with RM16 ..12v PC fan =RM12 Tape = RM1 Connector= rm1 switches= RM2 Other is free....can find old junk part . USB wires hard cardboard file I design one that direct the fan to my CPU and RAM HOLES.... By the way i using AMD.2.1GHz so the temp is about 70'C normal but when it run with games the temp will go up till 90'c like that..sometime even 100'c before shutdown.. Made my design simple just directing it ..beside i have to cut some more holes on my lappie bottom casing to let more flow going through it...opps..No waranty lorrrr.... Here some of the picture of my version... 
here my cooling result before 
after 
before cooling the cpu temp is 75'c and after switching on the cooling, it down to 64'c...the hard drive stay the same 41'c.. SO ..11'C drop in aircond room. but if in normal room the temp will drop about 7'c....wow. no need to buy at shop liao.... This post has been edited by makky: Jul 6 2009, 05:59 PM |

QUOTE Material Used & Cost: 2x 12cm fan - RM13 each arcylic casing - RM20 red color rubber tube - RM4 adapter - RM10 TOTAL - RM60 Performance Learned from mistake which cooling is not neccessary for every bottom part. use 12cm fan to draw larger heat area while achieving same performance and less noise. 100% cooling effective compare to the cooler outside, the fan position is just under the heat area, all are cooled very well n very silent, cons is it's still bulky but less weight Mind i ask where u get the arcylic casing ? Added on July 25, 2009, 1:07 ami make my self 1 cooler for lappy still looking a stand for it this is the temp before using a cooling  and this is after using the cooling  the red stand for cpu temp and its 39 blue is hdd getting camera to upload my creation XD This post has been edited by TianJian: Jul 25 2009, 01:07 AM |

Use a adjustable adapter..range from 3v to 12 volt. so u can adjust to suite your need..like when playing game , u can set to 12 v and normal usage set to 9 voltThis is what they mentioned on the adaptor : INPUT : 230V AC 50Hz OUTPUT : 12V DC 850mA Thanx |

QUOTE(Maapu @ Jul 27 2009, 07:40 PM) Thanx for the reply bro. Btw, my cooler has 2 fans. And the adapter i have is rated at 230V. Is it ok to use that ? Coz normally i see people use 240 V. it ok if the volt is round 220v to 240 volt because our home electricity is not always at 240v.. since your cooler have 2 fan then u can continue using 12 volts.. sure boots your fan speed alot..and cool your cpu down.. Will there be any effect ? Thanx in advance |

Hi guys, 1st of all, I didn't take the time to read up all the pages. I'm not sure if what I'm spamming have already been said by other user...so here goes my 2 cent on the subject
Most if not all of the cheap external fan you buy would not lower the temperature of your notebook. If you want to DIY a cooler, you need to know the most important part....which is to find the air intake of your notebook. There is no point blowing air to the bottom of your notebook. It is not located at the bottom of your notebook all the time. Certain model like Dell have their ait intake on the side of the notebook. Direct your fan to blow into the air intake and see the difference Simply buying a notebook cooler and blowing to the back of your notebook is like installing an extra fan in your PC blowing to the bottom part of your PC MB. That alone would not reduce the temperature of your PC by much. But if you blow it directly to your GC, that would make a different as it is where the most heat is generated (next to processor) Another thing that you need to note is to make sure there is a gap between the fan and your table. Leave no gap and no air would come from the fan. I found some of the notebook cooler is not elevated enough to even blow air One of the worst thing a notebook owner does to their notebook is to use it on top of non-flat surface, eg: sofa, bed, on top of your cloth etc. If your keypad is hot when you touch it, it is time to shutdown. Warm is still ok, but not for long term If you don't have notebook cooler, at least elevate your notebook. That alone would reduce the temperature by a few degree C. Blowing air directly into the air intake > using notebook in aircon room |

better handle with care when playing with 12v...
add resistors and fuses for safety just incase..if ur fan boom..then bye bye le.. just need to know the wiring and so on to enable usb and plug compliant~ because u might end up with Fried Fan |

if i'm not wrong, the voltage doesn't do much
only the amperage is the one that increases the speed of a fan |

just wanna ask... if i use a 12v fan and plug it in to the laptop's usb port, will it cause any problem (ignoring the 3rd wire-yellow)? if possible, then can i wire two 12v fans together and use the same usb port?
i know the recommended one would be powering the fans directly via power adapter rather than usb. can someone explain how to do it with a speed controller and the whole wiring thing? |

the fans will only be receiving 5v as thats the USBs power. and will run slower than it would at 12v
yes u can wire 2 12v fans and use the same USB port....BUT depends on the amperage of the fans...the USB ports dont really have much amperage. |

Too true XD
Last month the fan was positioned to blow upward .... 2000rpm everyday 1 week the pad already showing visible bunny dust >.< scared all my laptop hole will be filled with dust. Now it is positioned to suck the air downward at 2000rpm ...... the tradeoff is very obvious my keypad seem warm at 45-50 C last time it was cool enough ....... add more fan or increase the blow out hole for the fan |

Well, not sure if this could be called as DIY Cooler since no fancy stand or something like that. Just putting it beside the ventilation and works quite well..
Running@7.5V to keep the noise down... 
Room with only fan ceiling... Idle temp

i don't think it is economic to diy notebook cooler anymore, the total cost after u buy all the fans and accessories + diy works sure higher than buying existing one, since nowadays those coolers sell so cheap at it shop.

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)

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.

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. |

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 hahahahaplus 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 ;-) SOS Ball Bearing more good~ ...in my case the fan is ON 24/7 ...I usually dun turn my laptop off |

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..
