Jordan1's 9300/Spire Pacific Breeze Notebook Cooler pics

These are some pictures of my Dell Inspiron 9300 and Spire Pacific Breeze Notebook Cooler.

Inspiron 9300:









Spire Pacific Breeze:









These temps were taken from I8kfanGUI as my 9300 just sat doing nothing (excluding saving 3 screenshots.) The only noticeable cooling the Spire cooler did (with fans running) is drop the RAM temp a few degrees.

Holla, i9300 Krew.


But on a serious note, I was going to invest in one of those, but now that it doesn't do anything much, I think I'll save my money. Thanks, Jordan.

No problem. Note that I never compared temps with rising it w/ cooler (cooler off) vs. simply on my desk, but the small amount it is elevated probably does not do a whole lot.

I really think coolers are a scam.

The Bytech cooler I bought did absolutely nothing, and now it looks like the Pacific Breeze does nothing as well.

Is there anythign out there that works besides just propping the laptop up and giving it room to breathe?

It makes the bottom of my laptop cooler but it does nothing for the CPU or GPU. Cools the RAM off a bit.

I have discovered with my previous Dell laptop (Inpspiron 5100) that simply raising the laptop a bit with ANYTHING will allow more air to circulate, and cool things off. Someone on here has a laptop stand made out of Legos, that is probably just as good / cheaper than anything else, and it gives one the satisfaction of making it themselves.

I wonder though, if someone incorporated active cooling into one (ie. added a peltier device) would it lower CPU and GPU temps any???

Well the only thing I can imagine that will help the laptops CPG/GPU would be direct vents to the intakes and exhaust ports for those specific heat pipes and fans, which are not underneath, they are on top and the sides.

Very true. I normally just leave the fans off on my cooler.

If I'm going to have the laptop in my lap for very long I sit it on a piece of wood I have that has this foam stuff on the bottom(nice and comfy) and it keeps the laptop nice and cool. I also have a piece of glass I got from a broken copier that i use sometimes too, works just as well, it's just smaller/lighter than the wood. No need for an aftermarket cooler, anything flat that keeps the fans from being obstructed will work fine(as long as the laptop has decent cooling anyway).

This is kinda off topic...but kinda not....
Has anyone noticed, when they prop up their notebook, if the surface isn't completely flat, the chasis will flex? I prop mine up on four wood blocks of equal size, but from time to time, I notice that one or more corners of the laptop don't sit on the blocks...Is this chasis flex due to the mass of the 9300 or is it bad build design?
