    10' to 20' laptops. Aluminium. 22cm fan with speed regulator. About 60€

    Problem is I cannont find any review to check how good it works cooling or how quiet it is. But I think it looks really good, and it seems it can really fit 17' laptops.

    It says it does up to 100cfm (they mean at full speed = reactor mode when moving 22cm). Cooling pads like the Cooler Master Notepal Infinite do 10cfm at 1.500 rpm.

    I'd like to know if the Redcom is noisy at low rpms, because the airflow must be a lot better than what you get with small fans at full speed.

    That is such BS, that fan probably has an air flow of around 30-40cfm. It is still a very crappy laptop cooler. I made a laptop cooler, which drops into my desk, which produces 1034cfm of air volume at full speed, which is enough to hover many lightweight notebooks. Mine is powered by two 176mm PAPST industrial fans. Each produces 517 cfm of air volume. The fans are 24V, but I run them on 7VDC. At 7VDC, both fan generate around 350cfm of air volume at 45db. They consume around 3Amps each at full speed, so they need a separate psu. USB couldnt even turn these babies. I leave my Voodoo on it crunching numbers, and if I crank the fans to full speed, I get 72db of noise and my processor at full speed runs at the temperature of the room.

    Now you have seen the most powerful laptop cooler.

    I dont screw around, I want my system to run cool. I spent $7200 and I want my system to live as long as possible. I know many people have had melted motherboards with the high powered components. After realizing this, I can live with the noise as long as it runs cool.

    When I tell people that my system runs the same temp as the room, they think I am lying, but when they see and hear my laptop cooler, they know I am serious.

    Yes that power supply is 500 watts, overkill right.

    By the way, those fans can be bought from PAPST Germany for only $180 a piece. The fans and blades are entirely made of metal, for long life. Just dont tuch the fan, or you will loose a finger.
