Woah... That's cheaper than getting "Cooler ball or speed ball" which helps to provide a higher leverage to help to cool the laptop. That's quite creative to a wedge.

TS - So far, i find the market selling laptop cooler don't seems to be bring down a significant level amount of temp and not portable.

[et3rnity84]

The 5V laptop cooler are ineffective; the 220V AC type are more powerful.

Thanks man. How much did you get those? It's seriously portable and do you help that it helps to cool down your laptop.

1X$19.00 for the 90mm fan

2X$1.20 for the safety guard

7 to 8 degree drop in temperature. That's pretty good. Btw your results derived from idling or working mode processor?

Normal web surfing.

If you want better cooling you can use a 120mm fan.

[ayunet]

Cooling kit BALLS. lol.
Don't quite like this, sticks to laptop. Then one fine day you want to remove it makes the bottom sticky.

Try TravelPAC e-stand cool. I got one from challenger, member is $36, if I never remember wrongly. Made of lightweight metal, very portable and light. Fit up to 17" laptop, can fold till small small too.

Wow. Thats a big diff. You running the same amount of programs during these 2 temp tests? My temp can be as high as what you're experiencing when on high performance.

Anyway how much you bought your infinite for? I have a notepal but it doesn't seem to help!

[zero7090]

one my friend said that dont use cooler that use USB power because it will increase the stress on laptop due to the power supply for cooler.
is this right ?

[et3rnity84]

waaaaaaaaaaaa like this ar.. T_T quite good lei infinite... using usb 1?

[voldermord]

the no infinite one is the same programs as the inifnite one.. running guild wars in background.. so 50/50 cpu stress.. but, i left my laptop on the infinite, just turned it off.. my normal temps with laptop on table is alot hotter, esp HDD which can go up to 60. I guess the infinite aluminium base helps too.

yes, its one usb port.. got one more on it at the back to conpensate.

bought it for $59

btw, dont expect same results as me.. cuz some laptops are different.. my fan runs all the time,the speed will increase pass a certain temp. my friend for eg, his fan only turns on at 50+. in which case the infinite cannot lower ur temps below 50 or smth. so yea. also, my cpu is 45nm, so temps abit diff.. dont go buy compare and flames me pls.. thks :D

btw, on high performance, my cpu will be cooler than most as i undervolt my cpu, reducing temps by 12-15degrees.

[et3rnity84]

u bought from potterhouse ar?

what fan u refering to? the fan inside your lappie or the fan on infinite? if its in e lappie 1, how to adjust e speed can anyone teach me lol.

Be careful, the excercise book can cover the exhaust opening at the bottom and cause overheating. Better use door wedges.

gaming, firefox and winamp and without aircon as my room is facing the main road so more heat and dust

[et3rnity84]

[pker88]

the price at around $57 or 59 is pretty oke lor
since it got 1yrs warrenty
with banleong compare those cheap one is like $24to30
add abit more for this CM inifinite is worth it lor
but its plasticky compare to zalman is built damm solid
but zalman is quite costy compare to CM inifinite

funan no stock

I just ordered 1pc of Cooler Master NotePal from HN before I saw this thread.

Anyone knows how's NotePal compared to Infinite? Other than it's fan RPM, didn't notice other differences.

http://www.coolermaster.com/products/comparison.php?tbcate=1&id=2581

[pker88]

notepal got alot of diff models
even inifinite is aslo named notepal too
if want to say about notepal infinite is the flow is diff if u see the specs on CM website
its flowings around
with ijust 1 big fan unlike the othrs is on 2 fans i think
direct blowing onto the laptop

if u want u can go cancell your order lor and try notepad infinite
one of the best seller now in simlim and funan even no stock too
whne i ask the shops boss
at PK computer
last few weeks i saw simlim no stock but funan got abit of stock
but now this week when i buy it
funan no stock but simlim got some left stock just mere 1 or 2 left
pretty good seller lor

[techmatic]

Hey pker88,

Mine's named NotePal, infinite is named NotePal Infinite. Won't be able to cancel order since it's a Pre-Order with deposit paid (using vouchers - scared expired).

[chuachongchee]

Using CM Notepal Infinite..

Using it at home for my work laptop.. would get one for my workplace too, if i still had my own dedicated desk instead of hotdesking now.. lol

Been using an Acer TM3262.. if i remember correctly, idle temps without infinite is ard 60~64degs... whole notebook feels hot after 2 hrs of usage.. like excel, net etc... With infinite on, the temps drop to 50~53 deg max.... the notebook dont even feel warm... very cool on palmrests..

Now using an Acer TM6292... havent really noticed the temps... too busy these few days... maybe i'll post pics once i have time... with infinte... temps are 60~64... noticed that TM6292 has less and smaller vents... maybe its the notebook... not sure yet...

[pker88]

highy chance is how your laptop is built and what materal and onbroad cooling lor
makes some diff too
i am compare to my sis lennvo cost $1.8K
and my cheapo $1K compaq
her lenvno is more cooler even without any cooler too

techmatic if u ordered and cant ask for a reorder a diff model then just make do with the model u order lor unless u want u can go askyour side if can change over ehe hehe

here is mine temp in a aircon room with CM infinite active on max FAN setting
with firefox, winamp and photoshop and gaming opened same time

the aircon just ON not long too so i ON my laptop and cooler same time

IMHO.. zalman is expensive... NC-2000's design is nicer though... hehe

[NsX_R]

The designs for NC2000 and NC1000 are the same. The differences are NC2000 max. laptop screen size is 20" and it has USB cable storage compartment and foldable feet but the weight be much more heavier than NC1000.

What about the ability to cool down the laptop?? Comparing it with Cooler Master Infinite???

[NsX_R]

Yet to find out this weekend. Im going SLS to get the NC2000 then will post the temperature of my laptop asap.

I personally prefer the Coolermaster Infinite for the following reason.

The air-intake is at the back of the pad, as compared to the Zalman which has it at the bottom.
Having it at the bottom is not good for me, because i like to use the pad on my bed.

Zalman ZM-NC2000
http://www.zalman.co.kr/DataFile/product/NC2000_03_b.jpg




The Zalman only uses tiny rubber strips at the back, so i guess the notebook would slip down quite easily

[NsX_R]

Ohh then air intake at the back definitely better at the bottom since most of us using the laptop on the bed or on the table.. So i guess Cooler Master Infinite should be the right one somemore compared to Zalman is more cheaper..

Yea, the Coolermaster Infinite costs $59, while the Zalman NC-1000 already costs $89:eek:

[NsX_R]

Thank you for the info. Will be going down SLS in a while to get the Infinite as well as check out some of the laptop skins.

[aHRoy1985]

Anyway, i think Potterhouse got stocks already, cos they say they will delivery to me today...

[NsX_R]

Back from SLS, got my Infinite at Video-Pro for $58. Saw 2 sets only then i get 1.

[aHRoy1985]

I just got my Coolermaster Infinite from Potterhouse!!

Temperature is lower than when I had a fan blowing from behind...
Now really a very very big difference, but its better than before... My temperature seldom go up to more than 50 degree even when running programs...

The only down side is the fan and max speed is really abit noisy.... but then still tahanable lah...hahaha

[aHRoy1985]

Hi, would like to ask those of u using CM Infinite....

When i feel the surface of the cooler, like not much air blowing out, is this normal??

[NsX_R]

Hi, would like to ask those of u using CM Infinite....

The air is supposed to blow out at the behind not on the surface of the cooler.. When u touch the surface of the cooler it should be feel cool then it's normal liao..

[aHRoy1985]

blow out from behind??? i thought is air intake from behind???

[NsX_R]

Hmm maybe u should go http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?t=162820 for better understanding.. From wat i know i dun really feel the air blowing out frm the surface except i can feel the coolness when the fan is running

[WestGuy]

Air intake is at the back.
This is from Coolermaster's website.

Surely no one knows better about their own product than them?
Besides, it doesn't make sense if the air intake is from the surface of the pad.

http://www.coolermaster.com/uploads/product/products_gallery/file1187064974571.jpg

Special design of the intake at rear side allows convenient usage anywhere, on the sofa or in bed, without blocking the airflow

The guy who reviewed it from your URL said this:

One problem with my old NP is that I can't really use it on my lap or on a couch because the air intake is from the bottom, and so killing the point of ''laptop''. on the other hand the ∞'s bottom is not open, and the air intake is from the back of the cooler as shown a picture above, and so I can now use it on my lap

[NsX_R]

Eh the intake is at the back then how abt the release of air? Through the surface? I feel cool on the surface..

[picturesquezz]

Just unzip the program then click on it lor.. U can get the program at http://www.cpuid.com/hwmonitor.php and follow the instructions given.

ok thanks!:)

[aHRoy1985]

Ya, dunno how come like no air blowing out from the cooler master infinite... but surface is cool...

[chuachongchee]

pu cannot "feel" it one.... lol... the surface is cool.. yes... or use a piece of paper out on it.. see if it moves lor..

Till dat i only hear the noise as a measure whether or not its on... i dont put my hand on it to feel it...

[bahbahboom]

ey guys, how do i know if the cpuid program that i downloaded is working properly? cause when i run a program, i think only the one showing my cpu cores changes.. harddrive stays the same.. the other one.. some ACPI thing also stays static.. oh i think i saw my hard drive go up to 42 from 41..

[aHRoy1985]

how do i clear the dust trap on the fan of my Infinite?
Use compressed air and blow into the air intake at the back??

[et3rnity84]

hot air come out from e back. most likely typo

[WestGuy]

Well, if hot air comes out from the back like you said, then i guess Coolermaster themselves made typo errors on their website about their own product, drew the arrows on their diagram wrongly to point in instead of pointing out, and those review websites which i mentioned above also all had typo errors :)

Well, i guess that makes you right then :)

from e users of infinite, just give comments :) for mine hot air seemed to come out from e back and cold air resides just below my lappie..

So, what if u're right, any benefits?

Nice try, but that ain't me. :yawn:
That's why my nick is so generic.
Last i checked, 9,330 results turned up when googling Westguy

Well, i was just giving my own comments on the infinite as well and in fact gave you the benefit of the doubt that you were right and the websites were wrong, so look whos the kiddo when trying to ID me as well (but failed miserably anyway). :)

Look whos the one dishing out facts, and whos dishing out erronous information when providing information in a forum.

[et3rnity84]

none of e infinite users (not wannabes) will claim that intake is at e back. if it is, you're living in hell. (prob for u)

does this makes u happier? :D

[WestGuy]

Edited as requested by et3rnity84. Fair enough. Anyway, do not wish to go out of topic for thread.

[et3rnity84]

as per sms, please delete all quotes on me from the very first quote since u started it and it'll be peace. will come back late to check.

[frozentrace]

does anyone here know where i still can get the infinite? i went hunting at sls today.. couldn't find it :(

[xprezzshawn]

Knock it off guys... apologize to each other and carry on the discussion...
Any more arguments and will have to throw this issue outside...

anyone selling cm infinite?

[doompro]

for labtop coolers, it's down to 2 models and brand actually. done my research. it's either Cooler master infinite or Zalman NC 1000. both are around same price , but zalman is a bit more expensive. difference is mainly design. but that's my opinion, you might disagree though.

[chiu2000]

hi all the bros here...

i am thinking of getting a cooler as well for my baby... currently on my radar is CM Notepal Infinite and Zalman NC1000... which both seems to suit my lappy as it sucks air form the bottom

however wat re the opinions of u guys regarding these coolers??? it seems that NC1000 is more expensive, but has better cooling effect as well, probably becuz of it's all aluminium design...

a check at potterhouse shows that Notepal sells for $59 while NC1000 is $89... is the extra $30 justified???

and also, re there any other places with good lobang of these 2 coolers??

[doompro]

wait for comex then buy. dun so anxious, comex just next week.

[chiu2000]

hmm, i know, but wat i am looking for is some serious opinions/comments regarding the 2 coolers...

i juz dun want to make the wrong purchase...

Anyone know what cooler fan to use for my compaq presario laptop v3000?

[Bluefreak]

Sorry to bump this old thread up,but i am thinking of getting a laptop cooler.

Nowadays,after reformatting my lappy,my laptop tends to get hot very quick.
While playing Assassin creed,my laptop will get very hot,i need to switch on my fan to number 2 to blow behind my laptop.
But it stills get hot after awhile.

This is my lappy's temp after using it for an hour + for web surfing with fan blowing behind with speed 1.
http://i255.photobucket.com/albums/hh133/bluefreako/LappyTemp.jpg
Pretty hot eh?
I can't imagine how hot it will get when i start playing games.

Is there anymore CM infinite now in SLS? Selling price??

[lxXXxl]

is it juz me, or is the fan for notepal really weak, even when on max settings?

[Desolator]

[limster]

i bought the notepal infinite without usb hub as my notebook already got 4 usb ports, $55 at Laser. I'm using both notepal infinite and D1 (I have 2 laptops).

Even though it looks nice from pictures, the notepal infinite has actually quite a lot of plastic. I also have notepal D1 to save space on desk, the D1 is actually better build quality, slowing running/quieter fan (hence slower airflow/less cooling power).

[howard83]

Anybody knows if the cm infinite can be used on ASUS F8Sp? My ventilation is on the right hand side, near where i use my mouse.

Finally found it after so long.:(:(:(

[xiaokuang]

was thinking Notepal Infinate or Zalman ZM-NC2000 for 16" laptops..

Any suggestions?

[devilcm3]

depends heavily on your laptop...for the vents close to the middle...get notepal X2
for vents that is close to the sideways..use infinite

[Bluefreak]

My laptop is freaking hot.
Last time in sch,doing nth and on desktop,can reach up to 70+ deg celes.:s22:
Play game with no fan can reach 100 :s22::s22::s22:

Infinite can lower until how much?:s22:

[chuachongchee]

Depends on thermal design of your laptop...

Was using acer aspire 3620 series for my work.. combo with cm notepal infinite was very good.. laptop from hot to really totally cool.... i think from maybe 59 od to a cool 45 odd (cpu)

now changed to an acer tm6292... smaller laptop.. thermal design is not as good.. laptop went from hot to warm, guess cannot be help.. coz vents are smaller... maybe from 62~65ish to 55ish there about...

[Bluefreak]

Mine is acer aspire 4920.
Vent is quite good i think.

Gona hoot infinite and PC speaker.
Any recommendation for a $100> PC speaker with good bass?

can post the butts...i mean the bottom part of your laptop? need to see the fans..

a cheap knockoff china brand can outperform branded coolers if the design matches with your vents...

what we want is the maximum efficiency that we can get out of a cooler

Hi, I'm also looking for a cooling pad for older thinkpad series (T42 & X60), layout looks about the same as yours. I went challenger just now to try out coolermaster infinite. The fan doesn't feel that strong leh (although its says 2000rpm) .... plus seems like the vent for lenovo or thinkpad models are at the side of the laptop (not below).. don't know if cooling pad will have any significant improvement anot.

Anyways if you're looking for that cooler master infinite model, they are selling 55-59 at challenger vivo. ;)

Anyone use Enermax Aeolus before? Care to share? The fan looks huge...
