the bible in the rear to jack it up and contact lens lids for the front feet.

i should market this as it reduces temps by a couple to a few degrees.

A well-renowned notebook expert came up with a superb cooling solution.

Maybe if you try it it won't melt like his did.

I use a Coolermaster Notepal, which does a great job dissipating heat since it's all-metal.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the case, at least according to their website. Maybe some vendors are willing to ship abroad, though.

If you really want one, there seem to be a few for sale on eBay for a decent price with international shipping.

i quite doubt the usefulness of a notebook coolers...

i personally feel that if the laptop is elevated at the back, it helps with the airflow of hot air...

Elevating the laptop probably does about as much as having an active notebook cooler, in all honesty.

What the Notepal does for me is lower my hard drive temperatures by 10 degrees C. It also cools the GPU and CPU, but nowhere near as much. But you could probably accomplish much of the same effect by using a notebook stand that elevates it.

Yeah, I didn't think it would either, but I think the fact that it's solid metal might have something to do with it; whenever my notebook is atop it, the hard drive never goes above 40 degrees; without it, it can go up to 52 or so.

Notebook coolers are only useful for components located on the underside imo i.e. hard drive, memory (some) etc. Depending how exposed these components are and what material is used will effect how well your notebook cooler works. Other components such as cpu which is usually located under the keyboard will only benefit from the side affects of less heat build up in the laptop.

I was looking at how air flows through my cpu and was considering doing some modifications to the backplate of the keyboard by drilling some holes and allowing cool air to seep through the keys. The current situation seems like the backplate is right against the cpu fan so there is a lot of back pressure on the fan, not to mention its sucking up warmer air from elsewhere and then expelling this through the heatsink.

I use to play around with maximising cooling performance on desktop machines. I use to make my pc as quiet as possible til you can't hear it at all. There are great articles and forum discussion at www.silentpcreview.com

I have one for my i9300 and it drops everything 3~7 degrees C.

Nyako has one for her Sager and loves it.
