I know you can get a water-cooling system for a desktop, but how can do it for a laptop or netbook? Does anyone knows a gadget that can do the job?
There are those desk shapped thingies where they have fans on them... I would just walk into a computer store, find out the range on offer, and once I get to know which is the best...look on ebay XD
theres cooling pads with fans in, also canned air for cleaning out the air vents in the laptop. Thats about it.
well, technically they dont cool cause they just use the air beneath the laptop, so if your laptop is blowing out hot air, the fans gets those hot air and blows them back at the bottom of your laptop. Also, there is the top of your laptop that also gets hot... is there any way to cool the entire laptop without turning it off? like a mobile aircon.
I use the cooling pad with 2 fans and it is placed on top of 2 plastic hard cup filled with ice and it cools the laptop, but just for a few mins cause the ice melts on 37 degrees Celsius here in the Philippines... Is there a gadget-like-cooling fans that has some sort of contraptions that produce cool air? Or such gadget does not exist yet?
air conditioners exist but they cant really be used to cool laptops. I'd also imagine that water cooling on a desktop wouldnt be hugely effective in the philippines due to the high ambient temperature.
yup, unless its iced water, then it would cause at our temperatures, it would boil. I heard most expensive desktop here dont use water cooling, they mostly use something with silver or some sort of chemical...dont know much about details, i know only that they inject something in there.
all computers use silver paste as a thermal transfer surface between the cpu and the cooler. I suppose it would be possible to use a liquid with a slightly higher boiling point than water as a coolant, say something around 125c or 150c though I cant think of one offhand. Alternatively theres peltier cooling (thermoelectric) though that uses a lot of power, and phase change cooling, which is essentially building the computer in a refridgerator (this cools so much that you're required to install a heater under the cpu to prevent the pins becoming brittle).
Why do you need to cool down your notebook, its obvious you've been on it too long if its getting hot, just turn it off for an hour or 2 and play your ds instead. notebooks and especially laptops are not designed for 24 hours use. I learned the hard way with my lasy laptop, and becos i stored it vertically, some of the solder inside which was too hot ran. and made my motherboard go critically wrong.
people don't open windows in places like the philippines, its usually hotter outside than it is indoors.
To be exact, its hotter inside than outside. Unlike in the provinces were its cooler where ever you go, in the city, its hotter inside. My room is like a sauna.
One way to cool it down , put it on a flat surface and turn it off. Come back half an hour later and its cool
I have a fan for my laptop.It blows the cool air into my laptop's vents where air goes in.My laptop remains cool always because of this.
Check to make sure your fan is working (and clean), keep the laptop on a hard flat surface. If you have a good graphics card that can contribute to overheating (my laptops card idles around 55C, and the 3d working temp is 85-95C give or take).
