Hi all,

My laptop has been running quite hot now, especially when i am running games...

currently looking a notebook cooler that can cool my laptop...

any recommendations? will it really cool down the temp to a large extent?

Nope, it won't cool off you're notebook at a large extent, but at least, it'll keep you're notebook from overheating...

If you ask me, there's two good laptop cooler that is quite okay for me...

It's:

1) CoolerMaster Notepal
2) Evercool Zodiac [I don't really remember the name... ]

Go on, try it, it may at least cool off you're notebook more than letting you're notebook go overheat...

if you really want to get a cooler..i would suggest you buy master cooler, a trusted brand.

CoolerMaster Notepal didnt do j@ck for my Inspiron9400, it's very silent i'll admit, but it didnt make a single degree as compare to my book i put at the rear of my lappy to elevate it.

my advice, just stack up a few books to elevate ur laptop, so that there some airflow beneath ut laptop.

cheers.

I'll say do a home made one, thats my own plan for my laptop. Or you can use the way seanl suggested, it works great too.

hmm, is there anyway to DIY then?

anyway, this is how i am cooling my laptop now, is it enough?




2 erasers each on 2 corners....

Try a bit taller for more airflow, about the DIY part, I would not comment much on it yet since I'm still experimenting on mine.

Frankly.... "notebook cooler" pads don't do jack.

It's just cooling the plastic underside... Ya get the same effect raising up the lappie..just like the eraser thingy.

I have one as well...but I'm using it mainly to prevent burning my lap, kejantanan....and when typing on my bed.

Thats the main reason I'm trying to DIY one, to try to push the air into the laptop instead of just blowing at the plastic pad.

Got saw this kind of notebook cooler in internet "Evercool", duno available in m'sia already or not~~



The installation is something like this:





is just a compact notebook cooler, easy to bring around~~

wow, this really will turn your notebook into a vacumn cleaner..

Any recommended Laptop cooler for Dell Studio XPS 16??

that evercool not so practical. i used it once ago

Hav a try on Coolermaster NotePal Infinite ? The fan wasnt has big airflow and hardly can notice the airflow , but really bring out difference about 16C lower thn stock

i'm using zalman. 3 years and still running ok. only need to clear the dust at fan

Im using MIC product which is exactly same as cooler master...
the price is just 15 bucks...
so i only pay 15%... hehe

i find it very practical
used to hit 90'c when doing video editing last time
when it is on full blast, drop to 70'c ++ only

wont do any good.. at least with the cheapo generic cooler, don't know if it does make any difference with trusted brand. try cleaning your laptop first from any dust especially if your laptop is beyond 1yo.. mostly suffer from blocked vent.

clean the dust and change a better thermal paste will greatly reduce the temperature
my laptop 92°C at gaming, after cleaning + change thermal paste it drops to 57°C, without any cooler pad

Zalman and CM is most known brand..but i suggest clean dust in the laptop heatsink..i had doing that b4 and i my lappy system now cooling better
