doesnt opening it kill the warranty? -whistle Two magazines -lol edit: i actually want to get this my friend recommended me getting this thing.. i think its stuck right onto the vent and it sucks all the air out.. like "magic"
hmm i have an acer and the harddrive/network card gets REALLLYREALLY hot.. but it still works fine. just sometimes when i have the wireless running and some really graphic intensive program running my fan will go crazy. if ur games run really slow it might be becuase ur gfx card is damaged.. get it repaired =)
*sigh* There is no need to buy ANYTHING related to cooling if you haven't experienced overheating issues the first few months after you purchased the system. I've said this time and time again and no body bothers to read it. All you need to do is CLEAN YOUR COMPUTER. The vents, heatsink gets covered in dust which prevents them from doing their job properly. Get a can of compressed air and just give the vents a good spray.
my friends laptop get so hot, it burnt my lap wen i tried to sit on couch and use it = / so much for LAP top
Yeah, im going to buy one of those compressed air cans and spray. I only asked my friend today where to get some lol. i dont know where to get in australia.. and thats because they dont have evercool shops so try ebay. im getting mine off ebay but if you visit their official site (Evercool) i think i saw that they do have stores in toronto...-unsure
^^ The easiest way to get it would probably would be online. Stores that I have looked at don't have them. It's a newer product on the market, ebay has some and they should be the real thing
infact, i just bought it 2 days ago on ebay. i should get it in 10 working days -sweat ill give feedback to whether it works or not -_-2
my compaq is very quickly to overheat. once i put the handheld fan under the airvent, the laptop cooled down, but then the fan got really hot ><"...
been using the sony NR110E/S lateley for hours.. never get hot... but slow startup for some reason... dont know why.. and cant use firefox as an Internet browser.... my connection work on IE7 but not firefox..
i just remove the fan myself n vacuum all the dust , u wont believe how thick those are after few mths.. they look like sponges ! also i got a base fan for my laptop ... i still wont play games on the bed cos the bed sheet will hinder the fans cooling ability ..
I rarely play games on mine but I can't say I have had over heating problems on mine, it's over a year old too. Is the actual fan working?
I just received it today. In fact just an hour ago its working. Surely it did cool it down... but not 100% but what can you expect from $15 i will post pictures later on..
Just an update on my laptop status: The magic cooler is working well and it does sort of cool the laptop but its more primarily used for fast hot air extraction.. so doesnt really cool 100% It's still hot, im going to buy some compressed air cans and spray tmrw.
Just go to the tech store by your place, they should have laptop coolers for around $20-40 depending on which one you want (ranging from looks to performance). It's just a laptop "holder" where you put the laptop on top of it and there are fans on the plate that cools down your laptop. BTW, what are the specs of your laptop? Did you overclock? maybe you'll need to update the ram, because if you have not enough so-dimm your laptop will depend on the cpu too much so it's really stressful on it and it can overheat really easily.
lol speaking of compressed air, i needed a compress air can to clean the dust off of my laptop but being at my uncle's in montreal, he didnt have any cans, so he took out his monster compressor for nail gun, and i used it to clean dust off -lol much more powerful and efficient haha
