adding another fan..  originally got 2 x 5V fan, powered by USB.. then i add 1 more fan..

for the 12V fan, i modified it, connect the fan with AC power adapter.. currently i add this fan to my router, as it on 24hr non stop, easy to get hot.. wink.gif

can u share wit us how u modified your 12v fan to connect to your ac power adapter?? n wat type of adapter u using?? biggrin.gif

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

mind to share ur pic for the cooler after modified?? biggrin.gif
