anyone of u out there using DIY laptop cooler..

bcos i just thought of it, its not that hard to make one since i can get usb fans anywhere.

1st made cooler


2nd made cooler


i'm proud for my DIY cooler

Those are real cool.

mind me askin wat u use to power those fan?? can somehow change that into USB powered ah? then it would be geng.. currently i bought 1.. like not so strong.. plan to make 1 also.. wit bigger fan.. hehe.. 24/7 on laptop

i bet u cant bring those out..hehe
but its a great job there.

If u are using your laptop as a desktop replacement,then its good to make own yourself as its cheaper and gets a better and more powerful fan.

Is it noisy? The main reason I switched to a desktop replacement was because my old system unit was a jet engine.

I think it depends on what fan u are using.

thanks

i used variable adaptor, as i can adjust the fan speed, and i doesnt hv enuf usb ports can change to usb for sure, but it's limit to 5v only

thanks, sure cant take it out

it's silent yet powerful, as i'm running at 6v for 24/7 usage.. i'm sensitive of noise, one of the reason i made the arcylic cooler is the noise, now i get better performance with lower noise

Great,anyway,how heavy is it?

very very nice cooler ... can teach us newbies how to make one on our own???

thx thx

1++ kg? majority weight is comes from the fans

ha just buy arcylic casing, casing fan, adaptor.. drill hole, screw it, manage the cables properly and connect it to adaptor

If u think its troublesome,then get a cooler master or something,laptop cooler.

as usual Kudos to WTM for sharing these pics.....Very creative....

Cooler Master ain't charging me RM165 for the 17' widescreen cooler pad. H8!

Hey, can you guys show me step by step how to DIY this fans?

Where can i get that things for how much and please tell me step by step la

thanks

u can do it too, i oso nvr study electronic etc, only use some common sense like red wire must with red wire, black must with black

jln pasar for the arcylic(RM20) and adaptor (RM10), fans from LYP which cost me RM15 each.. i blowhole myself, u can try to ask the arcylic seller to make it for u, but sure extra charges lor.. make sure u had designed the dimension and bring the fans together when makin arcylic

but i think there are usb fans out there right?

how much is it? does it have diff speed or power?

cool, thanks guys!

Does all the arcylic casing come in that shape? Planning to make one already.
