CPU coolers

busterb · 06-01-2007, 09:41 PM

I got the Arctic Cooler Freezer 64 Pro today. Haven't had time, but to open the box. Other day I was looking at this review. With it in hand, for the life of me I can't see how playing with the screw will change which way the fans blows.

This's at the bottom of page, click photo for a better view. Thought I'd ask, before I shut down. Backup box is about down.

Only way I can see to change fan, is if there's lugs on all sides of mounting bracket.

Thanks bb

Guide to cooling down your laptop
I'm running a Core 2 Duo which gets pretty stinkin hot. I bought the Targus Chillmat at BB and it has been doing an amazing job of keeping my laptop cool. The thing is not even warm to the touch and I never hear the notebook's fan turn on anymore, even when running Folding@Home.
When looking at cooling mats, keep in mind where your vents and fans are on the underside of your laptop. One of the two fans in the Chillmat is located directly under a large vent on my laptop, so that's helpful.

I have never heard of a chillmat. I will check it out. I assume you mean Best Buy by BB?

Yes I meant Best Buy. There are many different cooling mat options out there, I like mine because it runs off of a usb port instead of a wall outlet, is very quiet, and has dual fans.
Check out places like newegg.com and tigerdirect.com in addition to best buy so you can find the right one for your laptop and you. There is a wide variety available with different features like more usb ports, actually raising and tilting the laptop to make typing more comfortable, etc. Mine is a more portable option among them all seeing as how it is about half an inch thick and light weight.
