Hi,
I am using Aftershock S-17 Laptop now. Are there any recommendations on products that I can use to reduce the temperature of the laptop?
Current CPU temp: around 50 degrees without turning on the fans.
The CPU is always on and if you disable the CPU fan, obviously you going to get heat not being exhaused out from within the machine.
if you say you deliberately power off the fan because of 'noise', in exchange you get heat. So you have to decide do you want less noise and more heat, or more noise and less heat?
For a high performance CPU the heat is unavoidable so you either endure the heat, or you endure the sound of the fan that is working to get rid of the heat.
Even if you buy laptop cooler, the cooler itself also uses a fan, i.e. fan noise.
Another thing to note is that while it is true there exist high end gaming laptops that have quiet fans, most of those laptops are able to achieve it only because their body is huge to dissipate air more easily and hence nowhere near as slim as your S-17. Asus is a prime example of 1 brand whose gaming laptops are like that, they actually purposely design the rear vents (and even the whole body) to be large so that the fan doesnt need to work so hard. And the trade-off there is a 17 inch laptop that weighs 1 kilo more than your 17 inch laptop.
