8660 Running Hot

Not is a french integrator, which itself has modded the hood

But he did not use your idea, because it does not know notebookreview

 

You mean a French "Reseller" of Clevo?

That's a cool mod - literally!

 

I understand.

Its an easy idea that has been done on other notebook before.

Glad to see a real pic of the mod.

 

Yeah, it's a reseller, but He painting and modding CLEVO's :

he modded, he found that the machine too heated

I should soon receive a sample for testing

 

Awesome - thanks for the info!

 

Yeah, I should have more news soon.

 

Hmm, it would be nice if Clevo sends out the remodel to its resellers. My temps are good, but that will make them better

However, I'm wondering if having that area SO open isn't just asking for trouble with the hard drive.

 

You never told us what brand of hard drive your 8660 has. All you told us so far is that you got your laptop from XoticPC and that it's running hotter than youknowwhat.

To find out, do this (if you're using Vista):

Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > System Information

Then go to Components, expand Storage and select Disks. The information to the right should bring up the brand of the hard drive and the model number. From what I hear, some brands run hotter than others, so what could solve your problem is a swap to another brand.

 

We have very good clevo's reseller in France, with very good price!

 

You have like 19% of taxes :/ seriously, that's a little bit too much compared to the 5-10% in the USA or 14% in Canada and don't forget that 1 Euro = 1.4658 U.S. dollars

 

Thank god i live in Switzerland and only have 7.6% tax

 

Thank the flying spaghetti monster I live in Oregon (USA) and have 0% tax

 

So what was the outcome of this modification?

 

It looks like a good idea tbh. the laptop did need more breathing room in that area. I can't see anything bad happening really.
