So I am looking for good/best laptop cooler. Feel free to share your experience and/or suggestions. :)

 

When it comes to laptop coolers there not much out there. Those cooling surface type products won't work unless your laptop has it's heat vents on the bottom.

 

What laptop do you have and what temps are you getting?

HP dv 6. Temps are very high... about 60+ in idle! That's why I need cooler. Any help to lower temps for that notebook is important.

Were the temps always this high or is it just recently. Because I had a similar problem, my laptop worked fine for 2 years after which it started idling at 65-75 degrees.

 

It turned out to be dust build up on the fan and heat sink and dried out thermal paste. If you're willing to operate on your laptop like I did, you could try that.

 

Look up some video's on how to disassemble your laptop on YT, open it up (keep good track of all the different screws), clean the heat sink and fan, remove the old thermal paste with 95%> pure alcohol and put some fresh MX-4 on it.

Make sure you hold the fan as still as possible when you're cleaning it. Spinning it while its off is bad for your components and the fan itself.

 

After I did the above mentioned 'operation' my idle temps went back down to 40-50 degrees idle which is perfectly acceptable for any laptop. 

 

(Whatever you do don't try to remove the dust from the heat sink from the outside by blowing compressed air in there. I did that and it was a really dumb idea. :P)

Sorry for answering that late. I did that procedure already. I did spin the fan when I took it off, now I think it's broken. It spins yea, but when I move or lean laptop it makes strange noise. Before this topic I made another one where I asked help about thermal paste for laptop. Here is link if you want to look http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/245227-hp-pavilion-dv6-2155er-overheat-problem-need-help-and-advice/#entry3366149

I decided to use MX-4 and temps went down a bit for now. We will only see it later how long will it last. Oiled also the fan and ordered Cooler Master Notepal X3 notebook cooler.

 

Thank you for your time and help :)

Sorry if I disturb you Altecice but I wanted you to see what is going with this HP laptop because I didn't close that earlier topic :)

 

Edit:

PS. I also replaced those green thermal pads with new ones

Hi there,

 

Normally when a fan starts making grinding/grumble sounds its the bearings that are failing. You could oil it with some WD-40 or somthing like that and see if it goes away. Most of the HP parts have a sticker on them with a part ID, normally going onto ebay and searching that will pull up a replacement for you. Or just "google hp laptop # replacment CPU fan".

Just get 4 plastic bottle caps from drinking water or soda and put one under each of the 4 legs. Better than spending 25 bucks on something that lowers the temp by 1 degree.

I've a Cooler Master NotePal U3, it supports laptops up to 17".

It comes with 3 80mm slim fans that are powered with a USB cable, but I swaped those for 2 120mm Cooler Master SickleFlo fans that are powered by a 12V DC 3A 36W power supply adapter.

With the new 2 fans temperatures are around 10ºC lower compared with the fans that come with the Cooler Master NotePal U3.

That sounds great. I have actually though about custom fans in laptop cooler, but I have no idea how to power them with external PSU.

My 2 120mm fans are connected to a 3-pin fan splitter then goes into a Zalman Fan Mate 2 to control the speed of the fans then goes into a Molex 4-pins to 1 3-pins fan adapter then goes into a cable I made with 1 Molex 4-pins male and 1 DC Jack male then goes into the power supply adapter.
