wah! crazy liao...from 1.83ghz to 2.83ghz? if burn donno can claim waranty or not...cos like gcard, if OC till burn cannot claim waranty...hehe...but think dell can claim laa..

btw, if u run Intel Proc ID Uti several time, it will giv ya diff reading...eventhough u didnt change any setting in NHC...i do think not good to OC ur notebook...unless u noe wat u r doing...

yerp...6400 user should use W1 laer..me oso use W1....recommended to switch the fan position up side down....n pull off the air filter for better performance

wah!
not noisy ka? 4 fans....120cm smmore....huwahahha

after using CM Notepal W1 for more than 8 months, i realise it bend a little bit now

izzit? how long u hv been using it? cos if not mistaken its not like dat ler...

its overprice izzit? rm270?

u bought gemstone edy? y don u open a new thread n do sm benchies n comment....i wanna noe...got heat probs or not..try play latest 3d games for hours....will it shutdown forcefully?

derred, u did say rite if bottom notebook ventilation sucks air, make sure notebook cooler push the air toward the bottom ventilation to avoid vacuum rite?

well, dats wat i think too. but later on, i decided to change the fan orientation.

bottom ventilation will sucks air as usual. n my notepal now oso sucks air. theoretically, like u say, since both sucks air, it will create vacuum = temp rise aite?

well, it doesnt.

between notebook n cooler, there's a gap. vacuum wont occur, instead it create forces to sucks cool air all around ur notebook n cooler flowing through it n make ur notebook erh, cool. vacuum will only occur if there's completely no gap between notebook bottom ventilation n notebook cooler's fans.

there's no diff when i monitor the temp, but, one thing i can feel is dat, my keyboard become less warmer.

ic ic, which meant not all notebook can use the method i say laa....huhu...well, its works perfectly for my 6400.... trial n error would b the best option!

n yeagh, notebook bottom layout n cooler layout is important too..

@kayanbutter

huhu...if i didnt use any notebook cooler, my hardisk temp gonna rise up up to the sky! since i guess my table is good heat resistance...it wont absorb the heat n trap it....

dats y i need notebook cooler...

using rubber wont seem practical to me...my hardisk temp still gonna rise up...i dont think hardisk can stand a lot of heat.....1-3 degree difference is alot....by any meant, using notebook coller can reduce the temp dats much, in long term, ur notebook life span is longer especially if u torrent alot with ur notebook...


btw, u use thinkpad...haih~ dont compare with other notebook okay! thinkpad cooler design is damn good! haih~

btw, i noe there is a heatsink existed below the keyboard. once dell technicion come n dismantle my notebook....got picture smmore...can find in my siggy...i guess...

ur cooler made by wat?
plastic or aluminium?

there's a lot of factor to determine how good the cooler is...

this is my opinion,

judging by the speed of the fan is kindda wrong. wat u should take a look at is the cfm rate. the higher the better. doesnt meant having high rpm the cfm is strong too...u hv to c the spec 1st lar...huehuhue...

cfm definition http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Actual_Cubic_Feet_per_Minute

basically, cfm is the rate for how strong the fan can blow an air in cubit feet per minute.

second,
material use for cooler is important. for me its useless to buy a cooler with plastic made. plastic = not friendly with heat i think. try ur best to avoid this kind of cooler.

third,
erh, brand oso determine how good the cooler is. they expensive for a reason.

combine this 3 factor, its determine how good the cooler is.

damn, kapitan, ur infinite rm110 only? for me its a good deal edy...notepal w1 expensive more expensive....now donno still expensive or not....

@derred
wat brand/type of cooler u intend to bring in? sure a lot of people would join ur bulk...

@y_owez
hurm,
most cooler come in standard size lar. to fit as big as 15inch notebook. i not yet encounter small notebook cooler for 12 inch notebook. try lurk in lowyat plaza....

btw, bottom ventilation sucks or blow air? infinite/zalman blow air toward bottom part of notebook. make sure ur notebook bottom vent is sucking air too..

as others previously mention,
choose the wan dat can align properly with ur notebook's vent...if posible the cooler cover entire surface of ur bottom part of ur notebook...between zalman n infinite...both is good i think (only seen n test zalman b4..infinite not yet)...if budget constraint...infinite (like kapitan said) is cheaper than zalman...
