Both got pro and cons

For me I go for angled since the laptop height is a problem for me.

wahhh so EXP ..... I think I get mine at RM15 >.<

Now thinking of modifying my current cooler .....

Cooler Master X1 base
Fan Long Life Cooler Master Fan 2000 rpm at 12V [Blue]

This gonna be EXP to modify the current setup XD
I wan to ask Is it better to blow the air to the base or suck the air out ....
Since the X1 factory design are supposed to blow the air upward .......

My lappy running at 24/7 most of the time ..... need it to be more cooler

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

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 tongue.gif ..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
