That's a piece of shit.... USB ports only put out 5volts.. not only are you using a USB, you have the goddamn fans in the wrong direction... Try using 4 120mm fans rated at 12v @ .25amps.. 1200rpm.. run them in parallel and connect them to a 12v 2amp AC adapter... I feel like slapping you in the face right now...
I have a 'real' laptop fan cooler stand/fan i got on sale for $10. Helps for sure but I still put a small fan aimed above and that makes everything perfect. I just used to use some books to prop up the laptop before so now I have the stand laptop cooler pad which is ideal.
.
The vid idea is great! I never even knew about laptop cooler pads until i saw the one i got on sale. Figured I'd try it, expected it to be junk but make a better stand than the books I was using but turns out it works!
12v fans on 5v USB? Just make sure the internal fan is working right, that the heatpipe fins are clean and that you aren't blocking the intake vents in the bottom (who is the dumbass engineer that put intake vents on the bottom anyway - stupid move).
are 2 fans marked DC 12V, 0.15A safe (for PC as well) to be powered by single USB? Thanks for your tutorial. BTW the fans have 3 wires coming out, a white one too. I guess I should ignore that?
@heatednemz They are pulling the air out of the laptop because the fans which are already operating within the laptop are forcing air out of the case. The design of airflow should match the preexisting fan placement of your individual laptop and can be easily customized by placing the fans of the binder in conjunction with your vents/fans of your laptop
This is a awesome idea i have been thinking of ways of how to make a box to do this and this is way better than my idea of thinking of getting some sort of box.
But i am concern in how well the binder can hold onto a laptop about 2.5kg
if including my hand i am guessing about 3-4kg ish
Very impressive. The Binder is a great idea because it has a natural angle. Tape is not a good idea to secure fans. Today there is a multitude of inexpensive hardware choices. Two part epoxy might work well also. I love Proto-Type Engineering. Think about it as a career choice. You are a good speaker as well. Keep it up.Good luck.
Maybe, It "might work" but I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't even move.
The reason for me to say this is that from a single USB You can AT MOST get 0.5 Amp at 5V (= 2.5 Watt)
And as You can see Your chosen fan is rated at 0,84 so the power is there, but the fan is rated as "starting voltage=7V" and You can't get that straight from USB.So the question is if it will move slower or just stand still.
ummmm, dc power adapter 12v 1A, a sheet of lexan or other plastic, and 3 80mm fans, mark ventilation areas, cut hole mount fans leave extra on side to use as a mouse pad area. a little more than 3 dollars? yes! custom built to lap top? yes!
i have 2 regular fans. 1 super dangerous fast fan with no protection guards around it. 2 super fast huge fan. my laptop is slightly elevated. 2 fan is on ground blowing air up and under the laptop. 1 on the computer desk blowing straight onto the laptop. BOOM never have that problem again. :P
Just a quick question - when you plug the fan in, you notice that air blows out of one side (other side probably sucking in the air). Do I face the side that blows the air into the laptop or the side that sucks in the air to the laptop.
i lifted my laptop up from desk, using 12v adapter, i run 4inch cooler that blows all the heat from under the pc away. and i added some paper walls to make the blow faster
playing games temperature dropped from 70C to around 55C
Thanks for this. It is fun to make your own stuff at times, Although to clarify a bit, You can get great quality coolers for generally $7. Even places such as Bestbuy and Walmart have them for $10. If you already have the tools to make it, Cool. But heatsinks and other computer pats aren't everyday stuff unless you work with computers or such. Sometimes it is actually cheaper to buy one.
@XSevenSonata true but you can't customize it to where your laptop's vents are. My laptop has vents near the edges. soo....
I just made mine with 3 spare fans on a metal sheet with holes on it. What made me do this was not cause of the money but cause i had everything required. But i do have to agree with you. Not really worth the effort unless you want to make a customized fan to your liking
@yellowman88 I know. But, Sometimes that isn't needed or wanted. I was just referring to those that don't already have the required stuff lying around such as myself. If you do however, Then go for it. And this is a good guide for that.
Great Build. I looked at your build when I made my own. Just dont know why you stuck the fans down the middle. I used two 120mm Fans. I got so sick of my laptop overheating during online play.
@CodyMetal it's fun to make your own stuff sometimes - however flawed they may be, you learn in the process, increase your scope, and most important of all - don't be a mindless consumer when you've got all that stuff lying around
@02watsot@02watsot You short the two together. The computer checks for this and treats it like a charger. It delivers much higher amps. I would rather use a seperate power source myself just to avoid motherboard problems. When the two data lines are shorted, it provides 1.8A.
Bro this is so boss. You inspired me to make one, but instead of a usb I used a old cellphone charger. input 12v and output 12v. Was going to buy one but this just saved me about 50$ Thx much :D
@dontstealmycandy I'm thinking of doing the same. Though I have a small doubt. Am I supposed to cut off the connector of the adapter and use it or do something with the connector. I know its a dumb question but.....:)
Excellent.Keep it up young man.You just saved some money for the more important stuff down the road.A little window bug mesh over the fans will filter out some of the dust shooting through the lap cooler fans inward through the bottom laptop intake vents as well.Common problem with most fan coolers,they shoot unfiltered air into the laptop and this builds up the dust.
ok thats fucking awsome. i never thought of using a binder for something like that. im more of a desktop person myself. and if you wanted to use more than one fan without going crazy overboard and using up all your usb ports on your laptop you could hide a usb splitter in the binder as extra suport. to.
Def. Does not work. I just spent an hour tinkering around with all different types of fans we have here at the shop and 2 different USB cables. One I cut from a mouse and another I cut from a printer. None work. I hooked up a GPU tiny fan to it and it BARELY moved.
I have a 12V fan...it has a red,black,and yellow wire...i spliced a usb and connected them to the black and red wires.......................plugged her in and it dont work....is my fan votage to high?
Cool cooler system any ideas on how you would go about making one that snaps onto the side and pushes or sucks the warm air out of the vent holes? my laptop fan is dead and its an older laptop so finding a replacement fan is hard i have tried already
You dont need a friggen custom notebook cooler, just buy any old cooler. Its not like a 3rd party hardware maker creates a specific piece of hardware for somthing, they just go by the size of laptops.
I heard that these USB coolers actually do very little when it comes to cooling because the computers power supply has to work harder to power the additional fans. Does that sound right?
@DanCamFXPro Your incorrect, the 5v output from the USB port is non significant on the laptops power supply, it will just drain it faster once your running solely on battery power..
I've been researching laptop cooling for around 6 months now, and I have made some amazing mods which I will be posting videos on how to make :)
You are a Genius. Simplicity simplifide. I have a Compaq laptop that has 3 fans. 2 that suck and blow and the 3rd blows. I hard wired (usb) the 3rd to see if it would help but at best got a temp reduction of 2 deg C. The fans on my Compaq have very little angle ( as in a propeller ) the suction is small although the blow is high, so I need to increase the flow of cool air to the fan to obtain a more efficient cooling action.
I will follow your instruction tomorrow , Again u r a GENIUS!!!
Make it out of a binder - GENIUS! I had been looking to get large sheets of acrylic cut to size, bent, drilled, etc. when I can just use a binder! So simple, yet so effective, did I mention that you're a genius?
Thanks for a very nice instruction dude, I have followed ur instruction and got my own cooling pad, but the problem is almost fan I got from PC is required 9v to 12v, so when I'm using power supply from USB it's only 5V, my Fan run like only half of its power...Do u have any solution for this? Thanks alot

@CHungCHac well every USB port has 5V output. You can't change it(unless there's a gadget that can do that). Another method is to used 9-12v batteries connected to the wires of the fans. or you can simply find an AC adapter which is not used and then try to connect the wires of the fans.
My usb cable has white,orange,green n blue.I did some research n found out blue is ground n orange is 5v.the fan im using is a n old celeron cpu cooler fan n a north bridge fan from a very old abit mobo.
@layz4life2 Hi,this is clever and you helped me very much.Im about to do the same but i dont have 2 fans.I have 1,the big one.Will it make much for my laptop as cooling system or should i quit ?
@layz4life2 Hi,this is clever and you helped me very much.Im about to do the same but i dont have 2 fans.I have 1,the big one.Will it make much for my laptop as cooling system or should i quit ?
@layz4life2 Hello,thanks for the help and for the idea!
I need to ask you something.I'm about to do that but i have only one fan from my old desktop.It's like the big one in your video.Will it make something or should i quit?Please answer.Thanks again and good job !
@bbmak1125 negative returns when using usb power as you are now spinning 120v from wall to 5v usb = loss as MORE heat. If cooling is the goal , get your power somewhere else. I make video to show you...
i actually just came up with the idea myself, and i built it last weekend. but instead of duck tape i used the screws. and 5V from USB was just not going to cut it. so i stripped an old laptop power supply (16V) and connected it to two 12V fans. And i also closed of 1 side of the map with some paper to up the air flow. I saw it worked best when removing the bottom part of your laptop, and now i have like 10-20°C difference whenon or off. i might do a video reaction one of these days showing it
That's a piece of shit.... USB ports only put out 5volts.. not only are you using a USB, you have the goddamn fans in the wrong direction...

I heard that these USB coolers actually do very little when it comes to cooling because the computers power supply has to work harder to power the additional fans. Does that sound right?

@DanCamFXPro Your incorrect, the 5v output from the USB port is non significant on the laptops power supply, it will just drain it faster once your running solely on battery power..
I've been researching laptop cooling for around 6 months now, and I have made some amazing mods which I will be posting videos on how to make :)

i duct taped 2 12 pc case fans to the vents on my laptop for an experiment and they actually brought down the temp 10 degrees!!!!

You are a Genius. Simplicity simplifide. I have a Compaq laptop that has 3 fans. 2 that suck and blow and the 3rd blows. I hard wired (usb) the 3rd to see if it would help but at best got a temp reduction of 2 deg C. The fans on my Compaq have very little angle ( as in a propeller ) the suction is small although the blow is high, so I need to increase the flow of cool air to the fan to obtain a more efficient cooling action.
I will follow your instruction tomorrow , Again u r a GENIUS!!!

this question is kinda silly, but which kind of fan blowing works the best in a cooler pad? Blow upwards or suck downwards?
chronousnemesis 1 year ago
@chronousnemesis you want it to blow upwards so that the nice cool air from outside the computer gets into the laptop

I think you need more airflow.

Thanks for a very nice instruction dude, I have followed ur instruction and got my own cooling pad, but the problem is almost fan I got from PC is required 9v to 12v, so when I'm using power supply from USB it's only 5V, my Fan run like only half of its power...Do u have any solution for this? Thanks alot

@CHungCHac well every USB port has 5V output. You can't change it(unless there's a gadget that can do that). Another method is to used 9-12v batteries connected to the wires of the fans. or you can simply find an AC adapter which is not used and then try to connect the wires of the fans.

My usb cable has white,orange,green n blue.I did some research n found out blue is ground n orange is 5v.the fan im using is a n old celeron cpu cooler fan n a north bridge fan from a very old abit mobo.

Good job. Try to make it into dual usb ports. So you can support a bigger fans

@layz4life2 so, most of the fans have a 3 pin or 4 pin connector, do I just cut the connector off so i can splice and tape?

@layz4life2 R those 5v fans? be cause i had 12v fans . They did't run that fast. I use a 5v fan and they r alot better.

@layz4life2 No no... go with 3 usb ports.

If the fans running off of that dont keep your engine cool, its meant to overheat.

@bbmak1125 negative returns when using usb power as you are now spinning 120v from wall to 5v usb = loss as MORE heat. If cooling is the goal , get your power somewhere else. I make video to show you...

i actually just came up with the idea myself, and i built it last weekend. but instead of duck tape i used the screws. and 5V from USB was just not going to cut it. so i stripped an old laptop power supply (16V) and connected it to two 12V fans. And i also closed of 1 side of the map with some paper to up the air flow. I saw it worked best when removing the bottom part of your laptop, and now i have like 10-20°C difference whenon or off. i might do a video reaction one of these days showing it

Your trying to use the side where the fan suck out the hot air from the laptop?
But how come other people do it the other way blowing back the hot air.
