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..

thats sound like a good idea... pic spam once you done..

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...

hmmm ok i guess i will find out the location of the CPU and the HDD, then i will cut out some heat radiation pads that i have, to stick it there, for the rest of the location i will depend on my air circulation from the holes, the radiation pads are quite expensive tho
