Ever been annoyed by your laptop's fan humming away while you're trying to record audio through a mic? Here's a nice little hack to keep it cool and quiet.

  • That's not at all smart. If moisture/condensation gets inside your laptop......NOT A GOOD IDEA. Especially not wise if your laptop has vents at the bottom.

  • @dav5tar09 You're probably right, but hey, my laptop is now about 4 years old and still humming along!

  • yes fans are usually the culprit of noise while recording. Hard drives can be noisy too, but normally not too noisy for recording. There also might be a utility for taming your computer's fan while recording, but you risk your drives overheating. Maybe then you could record from your refrigerator :)

  • couldn't hear whether the your fan wasn't making any noise. Mine was too loud :)

  • @corylshaw I'm looking into purchasing a silent fan for my laptop. I don't know if any exists, but I don't mind getting one custom-made if necessary. Oh, and your laptop looks great - how did you keep it in top condition for so long?

  • simple but cool

  • ....why not just use FanSpeed?

  • haha genius...yet ghetto =]
