    Hi everyone,

    I'm wondering if any resellers here, or anyone else know, sell Laptop intake fans for the NP8130.


    I'm asking this because I was looking at this and I think that fan is too small for the big exhaust size of NP8130. So, I was reading this dead forum and I thought.... "Hey, since that 'laptop exhaust' looks exactly the same as the intake fans and I'm assuming if I get a hold of those fans for NP8130 models, I can mod it so that it acts as a out-take fan."

    I had that idea because the current laptop cooler is just taking way too much space with my external peripherals and what-nots.

    Contact pkhetan, I believe he can get individual parts directly from Clevo.

    -edit you mean using them as intake fans? You cannot mod those. The fins only push air in one direction. If you reverse the fan, nothing will happen since you cannot physically flip the bearing around or reverse the flow of a centrifugal fan designed for one direction.

    Don't use a big active laptop cooler. Just use a small passive one. I use this $5 CAD one and it keeps everything perfectly cool.

    The other solution is using thin 60mm axial fans and build a shroud for it.
