Do you think I should get a cooling fan?
My computer runs great with no problems but I notice that it can get somewhat hot at times when I'm gaming. I don't play games too often and I mostly browse the web, but I play games on occasion.
The pic above is using HWMonitor. The max temps were reached while I was playing StarCraft.
Do you think those temps are too high for playing StarCraft? I have my computer slightly elevated in the back but wanted to know if you think I should get a fan such as the Zalman? What fan is recommended for HP laptops?
Currently running this notebook with a passive cooler (no fan) that increases the air space under the unit by tilting it slightly to improve the keyboarding angle.
I'm looking at one of those highly rated Zalman coolers... anyone have any experience to share as to whether those models will work well with this notebook?
I was considering either the...
Zalman ZM-NC2000-B
-or-
Zalman ZM-NC1000
I'm in the market for a new cooler for my coming HP HDX18 and was wondering what veryone was using.
View 7 Replies View RelatedThis thing gets up to 81 degs C. Only 3 vents on the bottom and hot air blows out the back. the rear vent is actually a crappy design as it is partially blocked because the laptop has no feet for elevation.
here's a pic of the bottom borrowed from another thread. the dv7 is on the left:
I haven't a clue which way the air flows on this thing.
I'm thinking of the Zalman 2000 or the NZXT Cryo cooler series
the other problem is i use the laptop on my lap with knees up. I have to cross my legs without a cooler to keep that rear exhaust fan clear. I need a cooler that won't block that fan.
does anyone have a cooler that gives good performance with the dv7?
I've read the reviews and cooling central. not real helpful, b/c i as i said, i haven't a clue about the air flow on this.
i've been looking around, as much as I hate buying devices for things that are already built into my computer, my HP dv5t just heats up way too much. (even with the back raised.) So now, the question is, which cooler to get?
i kind of like this one here:

However, most reviews, and from what i've seen on this forum say to get this guy:

what is the advantage of this Zalman cooler? am i right in saying that i should technically go with the Nzxt (out of these two) because it has the vents in the rear, which would help my dv5t's cooling system? or no?
I have my Compaq 6715b for already a year and a few months more. These few months have made been a nightmare with the dying chargers and extreme heating it produces.
I have started using Linux on it and after a successful installation the first original charger died. Some time ago already it started overheating and since the output of the cooler is less than a centimeter away from the power input (great architecture!) I suspect this heat has something to do with the instability of the power supply.
Later on I have tried 3 different universal chargers which all could not properly feed it with energy and in the end I had them replaced with a new original part. Since then I have been working without the battery because it became very unreliable and short-living.
My main concern now is that this new charger is also going to die off because of the heat it is now constantly exposed to. I have tried to take the cooler out, inspired by a friend who has a very similar but newer model of compaq and it turned out impossible to take out the last screw holding the cooler because it is hidden deep under the plastic.
something about the heating problem of the 6715b or even better - how to get the cooler out?
i built my own laptop cooler. Now my base was a stackable file organizer, so there were these tabs that stuck out. I normally would just rest my laptop on top of those tabs, with about half a cm distance between the mesh and the laptop. This weekend i got fed up with the slight wobble i would get using the tabs, so i pryed them out a bit so my dv5t would sit flush with the mesh, and WOW what a difference in temperatures! for once my hard drive is hotter than my gfx card! my gfx card max after playing codmw2 for about 2 hours was 57
View 3 Replies View Relatedmy old crappy targus cooler broke for my hp dv5t and I am looking for a new one. My HP gets very hot, and I am especially worried about the cpu. Even with max undervolting it still gets to 65-75 quite often.
Since I do not know much about which cooler would be best for my hp, I was wondering what cooler you use/recommend for this computer. Also I was wondering if the Zalman 1000 would be big enough for the hp dv5t 15.4 inch, to cool the gpu and cpu or should i be springing for the 2000 in case i decide to go zalman.
I bought a DV4T (T5800) during black Friday last November. Lately it is unstable. The GPU randomly crashes and the fan is louder than when I first bought it. When I put my hand near the fan outlet it doesn't seem to be moving much air even at high speeds.
So I decided to try undervolting. In the process of undervolting I found out that the CPU is hitting its thermal barrier when I run a prime95 torture test (in place FFT's). It hits 85C and the thermal throttling kicks in. This is AFTER I lowered the voltage mind you.
I am just looking for confirmation of my suspicions. I emailed HP tech support, do you think they will give me a hard time with an RMA?
Anyone else have probs with their DV4T and heat?
a laptop cooler for the HP DV7t-2000 (17.3" widescreen, approx. important dimmensions 16.2"x10.9"). The laptop does not really get all that hot (except when I am playing games), but I just want to get a cooler so that I can keep the laptop in perfect condition. I want this laptop to stay in the best shape possible for as long as possible.
Right now, I have just been propping the back using some video game cases. But I want something that is a little bit more reliable and powerful.
When the notebook is in use, the vent is at the top left corner. When flipped over so that it is upside down (as is shown in the picture below), the vent is in the top right. Any suggestions that would fit this configuration (I hope it was clear, just wanted to be precise )?
I recently got a dv7 (17.3") and I've been looking around for a good notebook cooler. The current cooler is not for this size and was wondering for any options available out there.
I've heard of the the Zalman-NC2000 but I'd have to "reposition" it to use it's capabilities. My next option would be the "NZXT Cryo LX". I am considering getting this one but would like to have other alternatives before I commit to it.
I use this laptop for gaming and photo/video editing so portability would be a plus.
Also, any good messenger bags for my lappy? I'll need space for my cooler and wacom tablet. I've been looking around for a long time as this and some were just a tad "tight" fitting in.
The back of the dv9000 has some slits for airflow, and there are also slits on the bottom of the unit. Because the airflow is so weak, I can't detect by feel which way the air is actually flowing.
Does air enter from the bottom and get exhausted out the back? Or Does air enter from the back and get exhausted out the bottom?
My as-yet-to-be-made cooler's fans will be mounted below the slits on the bottom of the notebook. Therefore, it's important to know if the fans should blow air onto the bottom of the notebook or if they should pull air away from the bottom of the notebook. This is crucial because if the cooler's fans are installed blowing air in the wrong direction, they could actually force hot air back into the notebook!
I know it has been mentioned before. It must be buried in some threads and I can't find it.
Anyw what is the best cooler for the XPS 16?
Since dell refuses to do anything to solve the heat issue with the xps 1645 i am planning on buying a notebook cooler but i am undecided what to pick, was wondering if anyone could give me some opinions...
View 7 Replies View RelatedJust bought one and wanted to know what the best cooler would be for it. Newegg doesn't sell the Pacific Breeze cooler .

Which is the best (most efficient) laptop cooler for the M6400?
I am zeroing in on the Antec 200. Apparently more efficient temperature wise than the Zalman NC2000
My XPS should hopefully be delivered in the next couple of days (see signature for specs).
It will be a desktop replacement primarily used for internet browsing, video streaming, watching a few blu-ray movies and the occasional gaming session.
I don't want to go too much into the heat issues, however to be prepared for longer periods (ie 4-8 hours)
I thought it might be wise to invest in a notebook cooler. Having done a bit of research the following seem to be popular:
I would like to buy a cooler for my AS 6920G.
It is a 16" Screen notebook with 1366x768(16:9) resolution. Any good suggestion? I need to know the blowing area and some details(price, weight and so on) of the cooler.
I've been doing some researching and the opinions are all over the board concerning whether coolers actually do a sufficient cooling job for MBPs since they are designed differently than standard PC notebooks in that they don't suck air in from the bottom.
The most promising ones I've seen seem to be: Antec's Notebook Cooler and Ultimate Notebook Cooler 200, Zalman NC1000/2000, and the iLap (although more of a stand [no fans]).
The Ultimate Notebook Cooler seems to have its 1 massive fan positioned closest to where the MBPs get hottest - towards the upper-back.
I have a macbook pro 15" that i bought in december 2008.
Sometimes, i'm playing world of warcraft on it, and the laptop is getting hot.
Anyone could recommand me a very good laptop cooler for this model, anyone that got a laptop cooler that is using with this laptop ?
can you guys recommend the best notebook cooler that will fit for XPS1530.

I was forced to hold the power button to shut it off. When I tried to turn it back on the lights flashed and it shut off. I tried to start it again and the lights flashed and it shut down again. At this point I felt like . SoI unplugged all usb devices and the power cord let it sit for a couple minutes and tried again. This time it booted to a black screen that said your system shutdown due to excessive heat error code #MO44. I opened up the laptop removed the fans and blew out the dust from the machine. The problem is it wasn't really that hot. I know it has been hotter in the past while gaming. Anyway I am going to get a cooler for when I'm gaming. I know there have been threads here before but searching was no real help. I am looking for the most efficient cooler out there for my 1710. I reallly don't care what it looks like as long as it does what it's supposed to do.
I'm running Vista Ultimate and I8KFANGUI my peak idle temps are
CPU: 50C
GPU: 59C
RAM: 51C

Anyone with any luck in regards to a particular cooler that they have used to keep their temperatures down? I want something that will work well with my laptop specifically.
I also wanted to note that I have a 9 cell battery on my laptop and not the 6 cell (if that makes a difference).
