steepgnomeking Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 Im using the Cooler Master u3. Find it to be very handy with the adjustable fans on it. Any new laptop i get i can make sure the fans are always placed right under the intakes so it cools it quite well. My older laptop i have it cooled it by 10 degrees and stopped it from throttleing itself so i would say its one of the best thing i ever got as an accesory Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
utumkodur Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 im using cooler master u3 for my m17xr4, it works great, temps lowered 3-7 degrees Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n1smo Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I have an old Cooler Master Notepal Color Infinite. I got it for my Acer 5739g which got pretty toasty but now I'm using it with my Lenovo Y500. The soul purpose of the cooling pad is to keep the laptop from suffocating on the soft leather padded coffee table in the living room where the laptop spends most of its time. I don't even plug the cooling pad in most of the time as the laptop runs pretty cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
failwheeldrive Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 I've got the cooler master ergostand. Not sure how effective it is, but at least it's a nice notbook stand lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senshin Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 Cooler master u3, biggest change is the temp of my videocard, running like 15degrees lower idle (m17x r4), more people seen this?Normal it would always idle on 53 - 55 and now its like 36 - 38!!CPU just a little bit lower, like 2 - 3 degrees.

buluunee Posted February 2, 2013 Share Posted February 2, 2013 i use n8 ultra atm which is dual 140mm adjustable fans also am really satisfied with this one. fan speed is impressive and overall air blowing is best from what i have used before including deep cool n6 and zalman zm nc3000u. during full load temps are around 10 dec lower with this one. highly recommend this one for 17inch laptops for 15.6 inch this one is bit powerful that you can feel the air blow on your hands so not really comfortable for other inches of laptops Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abolisher2407 Posted February 3, 2013 Share Posted February 3, 2013 The cooler I use is a normal cooler that has a bit of a tilt that lifts the laptop up. This is used on my Alienware 14x and works fine for me, it keeps it cooler by a couple of degrees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
isaacucb Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I use a notepal u2. the aluminum body is nice, and has rubber stoppers to keep the laptop from sliding. HOWEVER, although it comes advertised with 2 adjustable fans on the bottom, the airflow you get from them is pretty dismal. but hey, better than nothing.

jseinturier Posted February 7, 2013 Share Posted February 7, 2013 I've two coolers for my alienware M17X. The Antec cooler 200 and the COOLER MASTER NotePal U2 R9-NBC-8PBK-GP.The Antec is efficient but noisy ant i had to remove the "glass" part of the top as my laptop was sliding on them.The Cooler Master is efficient too, more silent and it does not require composant removal to fit the M17X. Moreover, if you now the heat points under your laptop, you can place the cooler fans precisely where it is needed.The two system are USB powered (no additional power connector needed).

giannis_ch Posted February 14, 2013 Share Posted February 14, 2013 I am using the coolermaster Notepal LapAir. It is a bit noisy and there are probably better coolers out there, but i like the way it sits on your lap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CEUOTC Posted February 25, 2013 Share Posted February 25, 2013 I have found the Cooler Master NotePal U3 to be ideal for my P170EM, l have foil modded the HSF and re-pasted with IC24, temperatures are ~10'c lower overall under load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zyy890316 Posted March 1, 2013 Share Posted March 1, 2013 I got a really good cooler which is extracting hot air from the notebook rather then try to blowing cool air into it. But after I did a carefully clean up for every piece of heating part, the cooler is no longer needed even under OC and heavy load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clevorr Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I use "laptop lifts" as Brian mentioned. They stick on the base of the machine with 3m double side adhesive and lift the laptop significantly off the desk. Great improvement and is all that is needed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeafyVegetable Posted March 5, 2013 Share Posted March 5, 2013 I use the CoolerMaster U2 for my alienware m17x. Had it for 2 years now and apparently still going strong, though I've had to vacuum it a few times due to dust buildup.Decreases temps by about 5-8c, so imo worth it. Cost about $60, which compared with the generic ones, is a bit pricy. I like it because you can put the fans directly under my laptop's fans. However I tried it on a laptop without bottom vents and still saw a 5c reduction in GPU temps, so guess it doesn't really matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samuel55 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I use a lapinator passive cooling pad. it works wonders on my laptop because it allows more airflow to it (there are rubber feet protruding from the surface) and since the GE60's fan is kinda strong, it doesnt overheat even with OC. playing games at ultra settings (768p) 75c - 80c temps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lawtq Posted March 8, 2013 Share Posted March 8, 2013 Another vote for the coolermaster u3 here. I even use it without the fans, as its a nice stand alone stand too. Had it for years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkhawk Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 I've got an MSI GT70 that I'm slowly building a completely custom cooler for. I'm maybe 1/4 done so far since I only work on it during my lunch break at work.That being said, I'm using 2 x 120mm fans in the rear, 1 which will force air into the cooler for the GPU and then out the side exhuast, and the other to cool the CPU and memory and everywhere else int he notebook.I'll be making it so I can still access the rear inputs to the notebook, and will most likely be making the top of the cooler completely open with some foam/rubber on top to create a good seal with the bottom of the laptop. This should help prevent air from escaping the enclosure. Overall, it will be interesting, since it will autocenter the laptop properly where it needs to go. I wish I had photo's of it right now, but it's still mostly in pieces and barely recognizable as a cooler. Probably end of April I'll finish it. Will probably post pictures then.
