need ferarri cooolant!!!! hahahaha.... perhaps u can try to tilt it alittle to the front when you are typing. in this way the fans beenath have some spaces to flow...

Yup. Cooler Master products make your notebook hotter. XD

Try some of the china made aluminium coolers. Try the ones that tilt the back of your notebook.

have u tried evercool notebook cooler?quite cheap also nice looking but i forgot the name sorry

is it normal for my notebook's harddisk to get very very hot? i'm using IBM lappy with the spec of P4 2.0 and 30GB harddisk space. after switching on my lappy for like 15mins, my lappy get to be very very hot at the bottom part (the harddisk part), too hot until u cannot put ur finger on top of it for like 5secs. any solution?

errr.....IMHO, those Alu based products basically doesnt work.....it's just nice looking only....

Alu for this notebook cooling doesnt work because the ALu doesnt stay in contact with the base of the laptop....

you just need to airflow to cool the base of the laptop...

My housemate jz use a table fan facing on his laptop... It really cool it down...Ha..Ha..Ha...

Cheap sale

my frens notebok also llike tat wan may due to due collecting thru the years IMO.maybe need some service aka spring cleaning inside

My housemate always turns on his laptop power supply instead of using battery...He said using power supply his laptop will b cooler.... he din not do maintenance also..Forget to mention his laptop model is dell...

Any other suggestion rather than using those notebook laptop cooler master allngap?

Teach us sifu...

my chapalang 3-fans steel notepad only able to cooldown hdd @ about 6 deg. C but no effect in CPU cooling. afaik, other brand notepads also with the similar outcome . i suppose the cooler below will make a difference if it is clipped at exhaust nearby cpu heatsink, anyone bother to give it a try .

I agree

I think this cooler will do the job rather than those lie-lie notebook cooler pad...

Have someone tried it before?

Have anyone made their own notebook cooler pad ?

i got diy cooling fan
using 13 amp port....
very good....
using wooden box and 3 mini fans.

How is it looked like? Take some picture and share with us...What is the cost?

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.

http://www.pbus-167.com/

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

if your warranty is over.. u might wanna open it up and check the dust inside..

here's wat i found when i opened up my gf's laptop, it was overheating + shutting down itself @ 70c














After this cleaning "exercise", it ran 22c cooler

no more overheating after that

Dude, that's normal.
I've opened tons of notebook @ laptop casing before, and always found that thick dust build up.

Tons of notebook shutdown by itself because of overheating.

Remember to only do this on those notebooks @ laptop that has finished its official warranty.

What lappy is that? So conversative shutdown temp

I think the most important thing is not to block the cool air intake holes and the heatsink exhaust system. If possible try to lid up a bit the notebook to let the bottom part of the notebook to take more cool air cooling down.

Needed some suggestion here.

I am about to get a notebook cooler for my gf's notebook but i am not so sure about which to get.Saw plenty of them in the market, ranging from CM, Zalman, LL, and many more but which one is better.Budget would be RM150 - RM200 but of course, the lower the better....

Any recommendation on which to get?

zalman notebook cooler..planning to get that..anyone here using it? any comments?

there is this PCMCIA cooler.. sold on lelong.com. dono who ever tried it b4.. its the cooler that you insert in the PCMCIA Bus Smart Card slot which suck the air out.. i think shud be effective.. cuz for my Toshiba lappie, the heat is on the surface at the place where my left wrist is when i'm typing..and that spot below is the PCMCIA slot.. hope some one can test.. here is the link..

mine oly shutdows when playin games any help??

ur lappie is definitely overheating like crazy
consult mr Shawty

i dun think it's dust in my case, the hardware's faulty, i cleaned everythin n it stil hangs!!! I hate ACER!!!

anyone bot the evercool magi one...????i wanna try tad..please...

bring ur lappie to a tire shop or workshop n use compressed air to gimme the fan a good blow... control the pressure though... u dun wan to ruin ur fan... a few seconds of blowing n follow by video head cleaner spray for a few quick burps... it should help to clean up lots of stuck debris in ur lappie...

* try at ur own risk... i did that to all my lappie n they survive though...

well for my old acey laptop which has passed its waranty, i have opened it, dismantled the heatsink and washed it and dried it and then lap it with some awesome emery paper, and hmm used mx1, works wonders, its a p4 and its idle at the moment is 41 degrees..

About external coolers, why not get the zalman cooler, i have not tried it though coz i can reduce the temps via method above...

i found that acer brand laptop is sux....
my old acer laptop oso face heat problem....

anyone noe that y ram part bcum hotter? even i had cleaned the internal part of my laptop




my cheapo way to cool down laptop is : put a puncher under the laptop so that more air intake

did anyone try the evercool

I think its wrong to generalise that acer laptops suck... its not the comp thats the main issue of malfunction but rather its the user himself/herself. I have an ACER travelmate 250 for 4 years now and it works perfectly fine only that its a single core

That cheapo way does help a bit....

Agree that ACER notebook sux.. i own Acer 5560 given as a present on my birthday. The heat on this notebook is rediculous..it will hit 80-85C when im doing my video rendering and round 55-65 on normal useage. Build quality also soo plastiky. Also the fan intake n out take on right hand side..wtf? Bad enuff the laptop is warm now everytime i use external mouse my right hand get toast too!.. This is a great laptop for someone in siberia indeed.

Btw have anyone open up an Acer laptopn and apply some AS-5 to the Heat Sink pipe?

Would be happy to get a decent 2-3C on my laptop..

My GPU heat is 75C even in idle and normal use...my lappy is compaq V3415AU...Using AMD and Nvidia chipset...anyone got idea with this? a fix? a patch to set it's frequency lower when idle, coz i found it running on maximum frequency even when idle...

I agree with u..
normally the cooler pad doesn't help much.. unless got tools directly suck all the heat out from the lappy..
it will be more effective..

this is old thread...

anyway try refer this web

http://www.mahalo.com/how-to-cool-a-laptop

Juz now go to it shop.. this fans cot around RM45 .. haha..

can we mod the back lappy??
make hole and put small fan..
especially at GPU and CPU..

Where did you find this? If effective, RM45 is quite reasonable. Just hope its not Made in China. Hahaha!!

now almost everything made in china loh...i can bet same goes to that fan...

thinking to buy CM Infinite, any sifus tried on this cooler b4?
