Extra cooling for E1705?

Could anyone suggest a CoolPad or similar device that'll work well with the E1705? Most of the ones I've come across seem too small

And also Spire Pacific Breeze. You can find it at newegg. Good cooling but loud.

 

I use the Antec aluminum cooler. Which helps my del 1405 at normal usage from 35c CPU temp to 27c. I dont really use this laptop for intense gaming but given that it reduces 8c on normal usage it should be good for gaming too. BTW on battery it drains about 10% faster. 6 cell = 4hrs 30mins w/o and 4hrs w/ antec cooler on usb power.

 

I know it's alittle late but thanxs for the link loesjoel just ordered one.

 

it's even later. i did a review of it, it's in the sig

 

THANK YOU! Keep spreading the word!

This notebook cooler will significantly make your laptop much cooler. At idle, my machine is 15-25 C and at Full 40-45.

 

One of my clients had that one and loved it.

 

hmm, imo these coolers arnt worth it. Just get a flat cutting board. Your laptop should be fine as long as your clothing/skin arnt blocking vents and insulating the plastic shell keeping heat from escaping.

 

But these things have FANS!
If you get hot, hook it to the laptop and cool yourself off
But really... 20$ for some extra insurance? When my laptop finnaly arrives I think I will get one!

 

What was it originally?

 

extra insurance? your laptop will survive at temps higher then what its comfortable at in your lap. Also the coolers make noise, the fans used are usualy quite loud.

 

The desk in my dorm is right sideways aginst the window, where we have a 3foot diameter fan sitting in the window sill (no ac in dorms). My 1210 is positioned on the desk so that the strong air flow faces right into my vent. Since I moved here I have had no heat problems So if possible, I would recommend a 3ft window fan next to your system, but if thats not possible, a notebook cooler will do it.

 

basically the way it works is this:
- does your laptop (e1705 in particular) need the cooling pad? Unlikely. The built-in fans do a very good job and this is a rather cool running notebook.
- Will a cooling pad hurt your notebook? Again, unlikely.

- Will it give you that warm and fuzzy feeling that you're doing something good for your notebook, and is spending $30 OK for you?
If yes, then get one. After all, emotional well-being is worth it. Everything else is covered by Dell warranty.

And by the way, most computer components are designed to function normally at temeperatures upto 90 degrees centigrade (yes, that's a lot).

 

i have the cooling pad by bytecc, i've done a review, read it. it's in the sig.

I'd say it's best feature is the elevation of the laptop for a better viewing and typing angle and the aluminum construction. the fans on the cooler are alright, but the cooler without the fans enhances the laptop fan's performance. On top of that,the cooler fans are helpful but not the strongest point imo

 

Mine arrived(the bytecc notebook cooler) just this weekend and it works better than exspected at keeping my laptop cool(not that it was running hot).When I locate the 7800 Go or the 7900GS I will want the extra cooling that the pad can provide.Especially if I'm only able to locate the 7800. I know that the 7900 is supose to run cooler and more efficent but it dosen't hurt to have one just incase.This is the main reason that I purchased one.

Note:To anyone that is looking at this particular cooling pad it is about 2in smaller in length and about 1in smaller in width than a 17in notebook.
