17 R4 Custom cooling pad - 150+CFM !

Hi guys looking to modify a cooling pad to support 2 Noctua high-end CFM fans 80+CFM each.

Anybody know the parts i need like a HUB , So DC > Into hub > fan adapter at the end?

I recall @Mr. Fox doing this a long time ago, but those parts are no longer available and i am also from the UK

Cheers all in Adance !!

 

waste of money, does not do anything more then regular fans that comes with ur cooling pad

 

You know for certain that modified notebook coolers doesn't help? And high pressure 12V fans does not do anything more than regular fans that comes with the cooling pad? Oh'well

 

I disagree i had a SF-19 with 2 Noctua High CFM fans Approx 214CFM in total, and they alone through a stupid mesh shroud knocked off a further 6 degrees at full load vs my U3 Notepal which is a well-respected cooler... before spouting off, i suggest you actually do some actual testing for yourself....

 

errrr.. best solution to reduce heat is doing a repaste and if you want more undervolt cpu and the best one for me that really helps and is a extremely easy trick is to elevate the bottom of your laptop for better airflow.. I use a small scotch tape on each side to elevate the vents.. hope this helps..

 

Reason to get a cooler, one word three letters

PCH

That thing overheats like a mother frecher. So to push cool air in that is the only reason I would say get a cooler + you need to mod the pch... so there is that as well

 

That has to be loud AF though.

 

of course if you put two 3000 rpm fans under it it will be marginally better but that's extra 20 dB, together with the 40 db from the laptop how can you even use the thing? If you don't care about noise might as well turn on the performance fan mode which is free and works way better.

 

How do you control the rpm?

I am making a custom one with 3 corsair ML120's using a Case control fan to control it manually. Looking for dust filters.

Think you can go upto 2400 rpm but when I put it on without controller (connected it to a 12v connection) it sounded really high pitched.... so something around 400-1000 rpm enough to push air though. Then maybe I can lower the laptop fan speed.

 

custom fan control on AW is still not good, when using HWinfo the fan would jump between 2500 rpm and 4200 rpm even when the temp is in the 4200 rpm range and that gets old real quick.

 

laptop is already fully repasted +pch is heat sink modded. All 17 r4 mods have been done, just fancy a challenge!

 

Marginally better? Knocking off 20C degrees. And have you heard the word fan control before? And what with less dust in the chassis due use of fan filter? Yeah, nobody should invest in a Notebook cooler. Wasted money as you said.


Btw... Below ambient temp with a desktop Core i7 in laptops. Maybe you don't belive this either?

 

good try but that's not AW17, different cooling design and different chassis, Also don't put words into my mouth, I use a cooling pad too, but spend extra $100 to mod the fans is just not worth it. But hey if you got money to burn be my guest.

 

Is it a Eurocom Tornado f5? Indoor temps are really low, moving KBL K series increased your temps by 3C on 5.1GHz, correct? BTW, why are you running at max fan speed, won't cause cause wear and tear of the fan bearings? Thereby reducing the lifespan by 2yrs or less. Your DTR is a fortress and not a laptop, honestly!.
You could build a portal that lets gamers and OC'ers ro transport to your place if they want to break OC records with LN2 coupled with your world Freeze mutant power. Hahaa.

 

The link(knocked of 20C degrees) is from Clevo P870DM3 and not Eurocom Tornado f5. Regarding maxed out fans in max load... I have never ever seen failed fans in any of my laptops. In fact, very rare for most people the first years after buying. They are nevertheless ranked for minimum 3 years during max speed. And if they should fail... Fans in laptops are cheap. Some is afraid that the fans will fail before time and will cost some money, but forget that a new or used motherboard (BGA hardware) is damn much more expensive(with expired warranty or you cheaped out with only one year), harder to obtain and harder to replace (if you have 10 thumbs and need a computer work shop do the job).

 

Hit the nail on the head here, I don't have a warranty and a replacement as you rightly said is going to be a JOKE if I ever needed one.

Would you mind me asking the specs for your custom cooler, and parts list if not too much hassle?

 

sorry to bump an old thread just wondering if anybody with the know how can point me in the direction of some parts please?

 

Below ambient temps on air cooling? Yes, I don't believe that.

Why? Because it would be breaking the laws of thermodynamics.

 

Check Norway's temps its actually lower. I believe, the temps you're seeing are during ambient temps of 4C and on 5.1GHz clock with c states disabled and 100% fan speed.

 

Wasn't running 5.1 if that's what you thought. Stock clocks, but even max clocks doesn't run much over 3-6c over ambient temp And I always run with the real clocks, not like the BGA boys who prefer Cstates enabled, Windoze power plan put to Balanced and wimpy 799MHz due cooling problems or other weird explanations!!


Maxed fans shut off. 0.3C over ambient temp.

Believe what you want, bruh. It could be margin of errors, but idle temp is sligtly right under ambient as wel as same temp. I posted what temp the Cpu was running with forced max fans (Fn+1) + my mod U3. I even used 2 different monitoring software for measuring the idle temp. Both the orginal software from Clevo (CCC) and Core temp.

Edit. Maybe read the following post by bro @Mr. Fox. As well take a look on what I always do when I get new hardware in hands. Afterwards I push it to see if my mod/tweaks work as intended.

 

Hahaa didn't notice the cpu model no in core temp.

 

I finally got around to building her and she is all done =)

Pretty amazing.

Went with Notepal u3 as the base.
2 x 120mm Noctua High performance Industrial 3000RPM Fans.
Asetek Fan controller
AC > Molex converter.

Super happy - knocked off 30 degrees off my PCH when at full fans, much better on CPU + GPU as well, overall cost £110, so pricey but i like a challenge !!

GTX 1080 is hitting around 60 degrees under stress tests and hitting 190 Watts.. so again pretty chuffed

Anybody interested in some pics hit me up..
