Laptop Cooler.

[Toxin]

Hay SG community.

 

My laptop is extremely hot, and that really affects my performance. When I put it on the Air Conditioner, it played TF2 on Medium High settings without much problems, but now without an AC under it, I can't even play TF2 on Very Low settings without lagging.

 

Now I've gotta decide between:

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834998492

 

So far, those have gotten the best reviews and aren't super mega expensive. If you do think that I should get another one, please let me know.

I had like 3 of those plastic laptop coolers that you can get at Walmart in the past, none of them lasted me more than 2 months.

 

Anyways, what I would like the cooler to have:

-More than one fan, or a big fan, because the right half of my Laptop runs hot, since that's where the CPU and all is, while the left side is never running warm.

-Under $40

-Should be available on Newegg (Since I'm buying a whole bunch of other electronics with it)

-Should be either aluminum (so it won't break after 2 months) or it should be flat, because I do tend to hit on my keys often.

They used to sell this on Newegg, but they do have it on Amazon still: http://www.amazon.com/PacificBreeze-Laptop-cooler-Model-CF300-NEB/dp/B0006ON0QQ

 

I used this with my Dell XPS2 Laptop which was a beast, and it kept it cool. It props up the back and circulates air really fast.

There was this DIY tutorial online that tells you how to increase your airflow of your laptop. I can't find it, but here is an alternative article.

Scroll down to the fourth to last image and you see those things, I think they are called silicone feets. You can get those and stick them onto the corners of the bottom of your laptop and it will raise your computer, increasing airflow regardless of the temperature.

 

EDIT: Or you can just stick a book under your laptop AWAY FROM THE FAN HOLE and that will increase your airflow.

So i would pick that because my is just like that and it works well

Fullmetal, broken link.

Btw, I had a look at the Zalman aleady, but as I said nothing about 40 if possible.

 

edit. @Wrathek, as far as my math skills tell, $34.99 (Rosewill one)

my bad, i saw rosefail and when i was looking the first rosewill i saw was over 50.

[Toxin]

yeah but the zalman looks promising, lookgs very durable to me.

Rosewill doesn't fail. They rebrand other companies. I don't know how they will benefit from rebranding and selling for less, but it benefits their customers.
