cooling pad suggestions?

if i were to get a cooling pad for the 7811fx, to help with overclocking temps...which would you suggest? and where can/should i get it?

 

Do you have a picture of the bottom?

 

If your curious about the vents, they are on the back.
NZXT Cryo should be good with FX's, since it's fans are in the back also.

 

bump...

nzxt cryo looks like the best, but i was wondering if there are any good options around $30ish?

 

oh...kinda found an answer for myself http://forum.notebookreview.com/showthread.php?p=3389293#post3389293

still would be interested in more opinions though...

 

I have the NZXT Cryo LX. I love it, worth the price in my opinion.

 

Yeah I'm a Cryo LX owner too. It's overvolted to 9v using a variable switch AC adapter. The fans can actually handle 12v and the noise isn't too bad either.

 

I'm looking at getting a Thermaltake Massive 23 CS

It looks like it'll work great for my 7805 and it's small enough that I'd be able to take it with me in my backpack. btw if you're looking for a backpack and don't mind the stupid alienware logo this backpack carries everything, part of the reason I'm not bothered by the size of this cooler.

Obviously this cooler not something you'd use blogging in the park, but I bought my laptop to game on, not comment on the twitters about how my coffee tastes. Anyway, back on topic. Has anyone tried this cooler?

 

i will let you know when i get mine

 

This may be a bit ghetto .. but the cooling on the P series is quite decent,iff, the vents at the bottom have access to air..
I used to have mine on a desk with a vinyl cloth on top and that was reducing air flow at the bottom making the temps go up ..

Now I have mine sitting on a cutting board...the Plastic type .No more cooling issues..

 

Me too, I am looking the cooling pad for my sweet notebook.. Thermaltake Massive 23 CS looks so GOOD and sexxy! but it will relief notebook's overheat and temp?

Honestly, I am torn between Zalman NC2000 and Thermaltake Massive 23 CS which is best for notebook..

 

I own the Zalmon NC2000 and the thing lasts forever. Keeps my GPU at 38C low and 75C peak at full speed, and my CPU at 27C idle and 52 peak at full speed. However, I also applied Arctic Silver 5 on both my CPU and GPU and cleaned out the fans, which actually helped keep my temps a lot lower than just using the stock thermal grease and the cooler.

1. Get Arctic Silver 5
2. Get either cooling pads, they'll both help keep your laptop cooler during peak loads.

 

Zalman NC-2000 is great for this machine. I'm using nearly 60 degrees celcius in games with extreme OC to GPU! And it fits perfect!

 

I have the NZXT Cryo, it is fits quite flush and the 3x120mm fans are great, however, i think it would benefit a TON more if you swapped the stock fans out of the cooler.

 

hey im actually gonna pay a little more and get the thermaltake massive 23 cln 0008 ... just like the 23 st but all aluminum (which is all i had against the massive23 st) plus cool lighting! $59.99 is kinda over my price budget but im gonna hold off until im in actual need of a cooler (like when I o'c my gpu)

 

I have the nzxt cryo, however I modified mine a little. I added a fan under the hard drives to pull heat away from that compartment. I was using a 12volt power supply, however I got tired of dragging it back and forth to work every day so I am back to using the stock usb cords. It does a noticeable difference, without the coolor hooked up, my 6860 will over heat and crash in most newer games, however with it running, it plays them fine.

 

That might help noise and longevity, but it still won't change the voltage going into it, and last I checked putting a 12V current into the Cryo was a "it might work" situation. So stock, new fans would still spin at the same speed, they just might be quieter doing it.

 

There are 2 varieties of circuit board found in Cryo LXs. Both are able to run @ 12v but one variety will require a minor modification (removal of a certain transistor) to allow 12v current. Incidentally, replacement circuit boards for the Cryo LX are sourced from ibuypower.com although the actual RMA request is dealt with by NXZT RMA (obviously!).

I have my LX running @ 12v with 3x scythe s-flex fans @ full speed ie. 1600rpm. There is a noticeable decrease in CFM output running @ 9v and 12v.

 

i think when i get my thermaltake massive23 cs, im gonna try to add 2x 2" or 3" fans to put over the vents on my 7805u the only thing i can think that i could run into trouble with is the power. so.. i was wondering if anyone knew if i could use an external power supply (because this ones usb) but one with more voltage to support the new fans?

 

I hadnt heard of this before, are there markings on the board to determine which board you have? Mine recently has quit working as a usb hub (still powers the fans though), so I had decided to wire a female usb plug to my 12 volt power supply so I can simply plug it into the usb to dc plug for powering my fans. I am guessing the transistor would only be needed if using the usb hub?

Edit: Well never mind, I went ahead and hooked it up anyway and its working great. I am looking to order some new 120mm fans now to get some more air flow.

 

If anyone is still looking for a good, ultra portable cooling solution, I would suggest a Targus Ergonomic X-Stand for Laptops Model AWE09US. I bought it off of Newegg http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16834999220 and it does wonders for my P-6831FX. GPU temps now reach between highs 60C to low 70C. Will probably be lower once I used some compressed air on my vents.

 

I was getting ready to buy some new fans and just read your post again, so with the scythe fans, you noticed a decrease in CFM? The 1600 rpm version on new egg list it as moving 63.7 cfm. What are your temps with the Scythe fans vs stock?

Right now, I am leaning towards the Delta FFB1212EH-F00, it is listed at 150 CFM, however I am worried about the sound. Plus with 450 CFM, if I can attach a couple of 3s lipos, I figure I can ride my laptop to work as a hovercraft.
