@windvv2005,

Thx bro yeah is my 1st time!!
The weight is more or less the same as the normal raw metal cooling pad(def not aluminium/plastic)!
The wood i'm using is not very heavy(trible decker wood) (is it call this unsure.gif ??)
And i don't care abt the weight of the pad act ,because i'm not going to carry it from place to place . I name it as a static cooling pad smile.gif smile.gif !

Wondering to make a stage 2 project,after knowing (betty's) works it is amazing and is value also!! thumbup.gif thumbup.gif thumbup.gif

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. thumbup.gif thumbup.gif Pic is in the spoiler.

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 . biggrin.gif biggrin.gif

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).

I;m thinking of getting some sort of metal plate as the base of my DIY laptop cooler soon.. will the metal material cause problem to my laptop? (eg. electrostatic?)

I dun think that will be any big effect to ur laptop!!The metal pad won't be directly contat with ur laptop right?Hmmm i think it won't be a big change to ur laptop's temp too i guess blink.gif blink.gif .After u've tried let us know ok?? smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

It's just a 5V blower I had lying around. I think it's from an old P4 notebook or something.
Basically these days, notebook coolers have 3 types right?

- Standard passive stand
- Stand with fans
- That aerocool thing that clips to exhaust that some says works and some say is a waste of money.

Just testing which 3 method is more geng... not for permanent use wan. Maybe will come out with something later to use with 24/7 downloading. Something to cool down  everything inside including the HDD.
Lotsa lotsa tape to avoid air leakage

Bro so wat is the conclusion of ur experiment? smile.gif smile.gif smile.gif

Hi long time never been here..... a normal 12v dc adapter(Jln pasar got plenty) is more than enought ald and the price also cheap.I think handphone charger is still not enought lah the voltage is not hi enought(~5-7v) only, unless ur fan(normal fan 12v) is small voltage 1 lah.
