How's the performance and effectiveness?

Much much effective compared to those Aluminium Notebook Coolers that's just fakes...

^Can compare with Coolermaster Notepal?

Much better...

As you can always choose the fan to you're liking, be it a loud fan - high cfm fans, or a silent fan...

Try to address where the heat is from:
1. CPU
Open up, clean up the white goo, put some good thermal paste. Make sure the laptop's internal cooler fan is clean and working. Undervolt if you know what you are doing.

2. Hard disk
Can't do much about this. But avoid torrenting on your lappie la. I don't think notebook hard disks can take that much stress.

3. Battery
What the forummer said above is true. Running on AC without the battery attached will make the notebook run cooler. (charging battery generates heat. Plugged in with 100% battery still generate some heat somehow)

Not just good for giving a lower heat, to add up, you will be saving you're battery life to make it last longer than ever...

Btw, in addition to cooling options, those using Centrino can use NHC to undervolt. That helps ALOT.

Won't undervolt cause any problems?

Nope. Just don't overdo it. Mine's undervolted...

nope, it won't, mine T7200 is running fine at 3-steps lower frm multiplier 7 to 12

hello new here
but wont the evercool laptop cooler suck in dust and mess up the inside of the laptop?

it sucks out actually...few commented it is not effective as claimed<_<

yes, i mean when the evercool sucks the air out,
the air intake for my laptop lies at the base of my laptop.
wont that suck in more dust into the pc? (like a vacuum cleaner? hehehe.

By the way does anyone have an acer aspire 5684wlmi?
my one seems to fry like an oven is that normal?
did they make it that way? half laptop half frying pan just in case u get hungry
=) hehehehehe

acer is well known for its heat issue dude
notepal is not effective as the alu base have no contact the lappy itseld
and also the fan is ultra slow

ok thanx for the info buddy.

the evercool magic idea notebook cooler device looks neat.
how well does it actually work? anybody got any idea?
and where can i buy it? (price too?)
thanx guys

will it slow down the proc?

Yes it will

Recently playing lappy so just give me 2 cents



Ditto.. using AS5 instead of the standard hastily applied white goo/silver sticker really helps. Bear in mind that lappies are mostly designed for ease of assembly so that underpaid factory workers can assemble them in the shortest time possible.

Also... check on the heatpipe's contact with the cpu plate. Try filling up the contact with AS5 unless you have the equipment to resolder the heatpipes lor.



This really depends on the lappy's cooling design. I see a lot of lappy's designed with only small intake vents which are great for passing EMI but bad for cooling.

I've been torrenting on my lappy for the past week and the HDD barely touch 40C. Most of the time at 36C. Set a bigger cache to avoid writing on the HDD too much. So it really depends on how the lappy is designed.



ps: Component lifetime is a different story altogether.

Edit: Idling at 41C and HDD temp 36C.. torrenting for the past week.

I've measured the AC power draw using a Seasonic power angel...
Running idle without battery --> ~22W
Running idle while charging battery --> 55W
Running idle with battery 100% charged --> ~22W
