Has anyone modded the u2 with more fans than just 2? Or added on a speed control..somehow.. or replaced the 2 fans with faster more powerful fans?![]()

Yeah that's one way, but I don't want to pay more than I need to
when a 80mm fan is only like $3. Should be about a $10 mod if I can figure it out.
3-80mm fans, heat shrink wrap
Not sure how to put together a speed controller -

Not sure, I was thinking about just wiring it all to a 12v adapter. Been looking around and it's hard to get these 80x80x10mm fans
there's a couple on ebay. hmm..

Forgive me for the necropost, but this thread is begging for a revival.
Why settle for low quality fans when you can put the best in? The Notepal Ux is a very good platform to mount new fans. From post #154 and onward. http://forum.notebookreview.com/sager-clevo/416414-clevo-m570tu-cooling-overhaul-16.html
And to answer your suggestion, gtsXracer, you will kill your 5V fans very easily that way. Unless you like the grinding sound of 140% overvolted fans, or replacing them frequently, it's not a good idea to do so. -
thanks for the nice update! I haven't done anything yet with the fans, been searching around the for the best method. This seems pretty interesting -

If you insist on just getting more Ux fans, I have some for sale. I am sitting on a whole box of U1, U2, and U3 fans.

You can put at most either two 140mm, three 120mm, or four 92mm or 80mm fans in the rear row of the U3. You can put more near the center and the front, however you will need to get slimmer fans as I mentioned in my guide.

hmm im intrested in this. would the cables/pins need to be modded for the fans? Because if what u say is correct i have 3 sickle flows lying around that i could chuck on.

The 3 pin connectors need not be touched. Just pick up three of the 3 pin to 4 pin molex adapters (the one that I linked has a 4 pin pass through so you can chain them together), mounting pins, and a PSU. Read over my guide again.
