my cm notepal is great!
keeps my thinkpad r52 idling at 46C and does not go over 80C when running grid computing programs.
it is very quiet but i would like to speed the fans abit!
anybody know how to do that?
recently i saw the zalman nc1000 at jusco 1U selling at rm270!

that zalman when i was researching notebook coolers you can get at LYP for about rm 165, so imagine my shock. i thought there were some cheats at LYP but the vendor at jusco 1u really takes the cake la! i had those speedballs earlier but felt i needed something with an active cooling solution. i just use my notepal at the office and the speedballs when i travel. it would look stupid using an aluminium plate at bintangbucks!
the notepal is good ergonomically, maybe better than the zalman. and cool to the touch.
still, anyone know how to mod the fans to run faster?
FYI, you can use a charger that ouputs to a USB cable to power the Notepal. so you can run it independent of the laptop batt and the charger is very lightweight. the charger i used was for my bluetooth headset.

any thoughts?
