koichichu Posted December 8, 2013 Share Posted December 8, 2013 previously i had a nice logitec cooling pad with built in speakers, alas i left it when i moved. though i find most of the problems are simply caused by a lack of air flow under the pc from having it on my lap or on a couch/bed. instead of going out for a new pad i just took an old shelf from a desk that is the same aprox size as the notebook and use that. its not an optimal solution but for the short term it works well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toastrecon Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 I don't know much about cooling pads, and I've never seen a nice roundup with multiple contestants like they do with thermal paste, but even putting my laptop an some legos as a makeshift pad yields slightly better temperatures.Does anyone here know if additional fand on the cooling pad do anything at all? Because the Cooler Master Notepal series looks really good and functional (transport). Adding fans would greatly hurt the portability.

the.cheat Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 what specifically is this model? I am interested. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KYRUSS55 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 If you can't afford a cooling pad, you will be surprised with how much cooler your laptop will run when it is elevated a bit. You can try getting taller rubber feet for the bottom of the case. You can also try flipping bottle caps over and putting the rubber feet on top of those.

mapsajm Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I have Zalman ZM-NC3500 with my y510p. Can definitely recommend it - good performance and looks well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zaki Posted January 12, 2014 Share Posted January 12, 2014 How's it for using if you are using it on your lap? I'm usually sitting in bed/on a couch so would prefer something I can use on my lap, any good recommendations for that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mibix Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 How's it for using if you are using it on your lap? I'm usually sitting in bed/on a couch so would prefer something I can use on my lap, any good recommendations for that? Amazon.com: Cooler Master NotePal X-Slim Ultra-Slim Laptop Cooling Pad with 160mm Fan (R9-NBC-XSLI-GP): Computers & Accessories I use that one and its perfect for the lap. It seems to blow air to the sides keeping your lap/chest cold. It also doesn't have big feet just little rubber stilts and is really thin and light. It is completely silent unless you get something through the fan grate The only thing I don't like about it is that it has a huge USB connector that sticks out way too far from the side. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AssaultCommand Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 There are a lot of suggestions here but I too am looking for a cooling pad for my lenovo y510p.It's not overheating or anything, but it does get quite hot when I play games like Planetside 2 and I'm not a big fan of heat as my previous laptop's GPU died because of it.What would you suggest for somebody on a low budget?

BlazingEclipse8 Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I do a good amount of gaming on my y510p and have been using the Cooler Master X3. It's $40 so it isn't the cheapest around, but if you want something that's reliable and does the job that would be my recommendation. I've had it for about a year and have dropped it a few times and it still works flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Serban George Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 I bought a Deep Cool N8 Ultra for my Y510p , and I must say it's doing his job excellent ! I recommend it . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seamon Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I got a home made one made of cardboard LOL with LEDs.It just exposes the air sucking fans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masterkey1233 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 I have a cheapo battery cooling pad from Big Lots, and I play games pretty heavily, and it's been enough for me. Y500 hasn't ever gotten past even kinda warm. If you're looking for a cooling pad just get whatever, I don't think it matters too much, the Y500 did an okay enough job at dealing with heat.

AcidPanda Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 Maybe try to clen your fans from dust by using compressed airs and vacum. You can try repasting cpu and gpu. And finnaly cooling pad. Dont buy cheap colling pad cause they are not working. Friend of mine is using zelman nc1300 and achive 4 to 7 celcius degrees less on his cpu and gpu.I wouldn't recommend vacuuming since that could create static and fry you laptop.

liuhaijun163 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I don't think the cooling pad will work well， in my submission，just psychology effection . As krwilson said ,I suggest adjusting the laptop height, on/off button(maybe a fan adjustment button as well), adjusting the fans positions, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aballein Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I have the y510p and I use the Coolermaster Notepal X3. It has a 200MM fan with variable speed dial and on/off switches for the fan and the (IMO) useless blue LED's. Also has a usb port to replace the one you lose to power the cooler. It's a nice cooler and is pretty much the exact same size as the y510p. The little cooling vents at the front are nice as they do indeed blow cool air on your hands or whatever appendage happens to be in front of it. I recline in a chair almost exclusively when I am on my laptop and the cooler sits well on my lap. As far as fan noise is concerned.....considering its a 200mm fan it is pretty quiet. When its on my lap I don't really even notice the fan spinning but when its on the table it seems to echo off the hard surface a bit more. It's not overwhelming by any means but is noticeable. Sorry I'm a bit late to the party but I figured I would throw my 2 cents in for future members. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigfndeal Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I have a y510p and bought the GOrb II from Thermaltake. I like it because its very portable and with the two individual half orbs, you can place the cooling where its needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skbak Posted March 1, 2014 Share Posted March 1, 2014 I purchased a CM-Storm 19 cooling pad, and it shreds. It requires a separate power outlet, but 2 120mm fans keep the bottom nice and cool. There is still hot flow coming from the video cards, but that gets taken care of easily Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
c++ Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 I got one on amazon, and it uses usb to power it. It works like a charm and it was only $10! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morvegil Posted March 10, 2014 Share Posted March 10, 2014 I suggest Microcenter if you have one in your area. They have a great selection. I even took them out of the box and plugged them into the display laptops to see ho quite/effective they were. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
