USB Fan Base Thingy

Macers

Hi all,

Running a Pentium 4 Toshiba laptop which tends to run vey hot and switch off due to the powerful progams I run on it.

A recently heard about a laptop base with fans in it that plugs into our USB for power to provide extra air flow? Any body know where these can be got?

Kind regards

Sounds interesting. I have the same problem with an Amilo D laptop and i use a program called CPU Eat'n'Cool which prevents a certain percentage of your cpu from being used at all, it slows your pc down a bit but also stops it from overheating as well.

Anyone know what the best and most quiet laptop fan is?

I got one of off ebay a few days ago. It's really good - the laptop stays nice and cool! This is the one I got :

"hey

not sure if they stil have any left in peats but you could try maplins or the peats in blanch aswell. the left sid eof the laptop near the processor gets warm, thats it, no warmer than a centrino would even while doing intense work. hope you can find one"

Maplins have them - more expnsive than purchasing online of course. ~40Euro, if you're impatient. Does a great job of keeping the craptop cool + adds memory card reader + USB hub..

if youre handy with machines you could also try re-applying new thermal paste on your cpu/gpu
