M11x cooling fans? Which one is best?

Are there any cooling fans that do the m11x justice. The one I am looking at is the belkin one that has the U shape and the fan sits in the middle of that to create more airflow. I'm afraid that it is bigger than the m11x and would like something that fits more flush with it. height I don't care really.

Thoughts?

 

Why would you need an extra fan for the R1?

 

ive never seen a nice cooling fan..... but im in brasil and dont have any selection.. mines a bit big but i dont care.. id rather have my computer not die from the 40 degree weather then look cool

 

Agreed. The R1's temperatures are already very low even when overclocked.

I use this one for mine and my temps stay fairly low. Though the area on the left of the track pad still gets noticeably warm it is far cooler than it was before. Under load and overclocked my GPU goes about 54C CPU tends to stay around there as well with minor alterations.

 

Highly Recommend Zalman NC series...i got the NC1000 and it is great.

i been on vacation for the past month, and temps regularly exceed 74-78 degrees C on GPU, and with my zalman pad, it never tops 65 at home.....

 

makrtrav: hey how much did you pay for your cooler? Since im thinking about buying one. Is there any way that the weather make the pc get more heat that in other parts of the world. i used to live in boston but Im moved to south america and I got this overheating problems...

 

Ambient room temperature plays a huge role in heat dissipation for all electronics.

 

forget the cooling fan, I've got the macally tunefan and its sick! comes with a fan, neon blue light, speakers, sub woofer and fits the m11x nicely! also plays ipod/mp3 player too. $69.99 at j&r.com w/ free shipping.

 

YES it matters....

im in hawaii right now, its been about 75-80 in house and def notice the temps are much higher than in SF where i live full time.

 

I use the Logitech n700 and its great...

Well thanks for the input guys.....

 

Another vote for the Zalman NC1000.

Durable as snot, the whole top is fairly thick aluminum which helps absorb heat from the laptop kind of like a heatsink, so its doing more then just blowing air on it.

Newegg.com - ZALMAN Ultra Quiet Notebook Cooler Model ZM-NC1000 Black

available in black or silver too. Fits like a glove.

 

Ditto -- I used this for my XPS m1330 and now with my M11x. It's been working strong for 1.5+ years with great results.

 

best cooler ever with adjustable fans and a strap to hold your laptop in place as well as having holes all through the bottom, perfect for the gpu exhaust fan. I plan on modding it to put a 120 mm fan on the bottom, oh and its aluminum gpu oc'd to gpu 580, shader 1400, mem 870. stays at 45-50 Celsius cold to the touch. Highly recommend!

NotePal U2

 

I´m using Thermaltake Global > Product > Cooler > NotebookCooling > Massive23LX > CLN0015

massive 23 lx thermaltake ... fan = m11x Fress sensation XD

 

The U2 isn't too big? They have the U1 which is meant for a laptop the size of the M11x.

 

fits fine dead smack center, and stays put. although if they had the u1 at comp usa i would prob have bought that one

 

Oh So guys where the fan suppose to be? Im thinking about this one http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Targus+...lack/1263631.p?id=1218245469062&skuId=1263631 but im not really sure if it will do the work. Im thinking about spending 30 bucks on the cooling fan.

 

dude coolmaster U2 or U1 you put the fans where you need them! I ran 5 hours of continuous gaming last night with my GPU OC'ed to 500/1200/850, never dropped below 51 Celsius, cold to the touch. I'm telling you I've tried em all this one is the real deal....

 

just an idea of how cool it keeps your gpu i just played on a flat table for the first time and reached 62 Celsius compared to never going above 50 Celsius average is 45.

 

Yeah well. I live in a hot country or at least on summer.

 

I understand a little I'm in Florida

 

And I wonder what tables or support people use to play. Because now I can only play on my lap. And keep the fan open to receive air

 

I put the coolmaster u2 on my lap

 

I have the coolmaster u2 as well. It is a really good fit, and I highly recommend it. It's really nice to be able to adjust the fans to wherever you need them.

 

I just got one, what are the best areas to put them? Currently I have both in the default center position with my laptop centered on the pad.

What are your temps during browsing? Mines around 50c-54c fully OC'ed R2 i5.

While its far from needed, I use this as it makes for a nice on the go lap board and also angles the keyboard nicely. When pushing the m11x to the limit it keeps it cooler then not, but def not a needed accessory for an m11x since they do in fact run very cool.
