Acer D255 air-intake?

Hello,

 

So I've been messing with an old Acer Aspire One D255 netbook, and I've decided to improve the cooling. Basically I'm going to try opening up the intakes/exhaust. I've done this to a few different laptops, usually cutting/removing some bit of plastic.

 

As I opened this up, I began to wonder, where the f*** is the intake? The exhaust is clearly on the side by the VGA port, but where is the fan getting air from?

Is it drawing air from the front, then under the keyboard, into the fan, then out to the side? Would it help to just cut out a bit of plastic underneath the fan? What about glueing some strips of aluminium to the heatsink?

 

Just looking for thoughts on this, thanks for your time.

 

Here is a video of the breakdown for it, if you haven't seen it before.

 

 

Here is another.

 

"Normandy" i7 4790K - GTX 970 - Phantom 410 (Gun metal) - Z97 Extreme4 (asrock) - 128GB Crucial SSD - 1TB WD HDD - H60 Refurb. - 7 case fans | G710+ Keyboard, G230 Headset, Acer GN246HL Monitor.

Quick thoughts on system: I7 is extremely quick and I'm glad I spent the extra for hyper-threading. I regret my decision to get the GTX 970, it has horrible coil whine. There isn't any excuse for this terrible whine I and others are having. I HIGHLY recommend a 144hz monitor. Future Improvements/upgrades: Rubber fan mounts, basic speakers, more ram (for a total of 16gb), replace GPU.

144hz is love. 144hz is life. I like to submit unfinished posts then do about 20 edits. I like the Night Theme too.
