HI Timmy,

i am new to this forum and i saw your new cooling idea - i had a similar idea (just with one top blow fan on the heatpipe over the processor) - i got an 4800mq and when playing it gets really hot. i did switch off already the turbo mode but it still is too hot. (also i cannot undervolt because intels XTU is not running under linux - and i use linux only)

did you get any good results with your idea till now ?

i was also thinking of puting a fan in the area where an Mssd is able to sit (right lower edge of your photo) and getting some air from the side (with drilling some holes)

Aren't you guys going to lose your waranty if you add random coolers to the system?

I'm not really sure if it'll fit in there. Furthermore you need to drill a couple of holes in the plastic cover.

Also, when the notebook's on the table, would it have enough space to suck the air in?

I guess, IF possible, Clevo would have done it by itself.
