Hello all.

I've got this laptop which is getting too hot (CPU gets near 60°C sometimes and other components get 73°C constantly.. way too hot and unpleasant to rest your hand palms on).

Now, I thought, OK let's go buy a laptop fan so that this heat at least cools down.
Then I looked at the dBA rating (decibel) of the fan and I said to myself "is this loud enough to be disturbing?",
so I went to look it up and here are the ratings:

10dBA - Normal Breathing
20dBA - Mosquito or Rustling Leaves
30dBA - A Whisper

The particular fan I'm interested in is this one:

specs:
# Sound 23.8 dBA - 27.1 dBA
# Speed 400RPM±150 - 600RPM±150

Here is the fan listing of the shop:

So my questions are:

- Can someone recommend me a good fan out of that list?
- Is the sound of the fan I just posted too loud or disturbing loud? Need some advice on that.


Thanks

unless yoy know exactly what your doing, i dont recommend taking apart laptops you might open up a 'pandoras box' that you cant get closed again

oh and they have pads you can put them on to cool them off i believe

I don't think you understood my questions but that's fine.
I was looking for laptop coolers. The ones you place under your laptop.

Current CPU temps: 75°C each. Too hot.

I just read that most good coolers lower the temperature up to 5°C lower..
that still would mean 70°C hot laptop..

I don't know what to do here.

Couple more questions:

- I've read from benchmarks that most fans cool laptops up to 5°C. That's not really enough for me.
I want it to be 50°C, not 70°C.

- Are there notebook cooler out there that cool my machine more than 10°C cooler?
yeah i think they are called 'cooling pads' simply referring to them as 'fans' can be MISLEADING since there are indeed 'fans' inside the laptop on the motherboard but oh well no harm done as long as you know what your talking about thats the important thinglol.. 84°C cores... that's it I'm buying the cooling pad lol.The temperatures you describe aren't necessarily dangerous or a CAUSE for CONCER, depending on the laptop/components in question. I do agree though that a hot laptop is no fun to USE, a cooling pad should help with the external temperatures at least.
Be aware that manufacturers always lie about decibel and airflow ratings for fans - one manufacturer's fan may claim 60cfm at 10db, and another 10 cfm at the same db, yet neither might be right.
Just wanted to add that info, I've never used a laptop cooler so I can't recommend anything specific.Is it a problem to run the new laptop fans at the same time as the internal laptop fan?
Also if I turn off the internal fan it will probably fry the laptop.nothing you can do will turn off the internal fans besides place your laptop on a blanket and block the vents

sure go for the cooling pad they are cheap enough and if it works GREAT i just spent $35 for a leather case and silicon keyboard protecters for my notebook i love my baby Cough, cheap in the US. I paid 80 euros for mine.should be cheaper for europ coz isnt euros at a higher rate than dollars?Yes it is.
I just bought the best fan. =)
