    Hello everybodyyyyy !

    i recently designed a new cooling plate for the mySN XMG P720 (P370EM)
    I'll add 2 fan (like Scyth Slipstream 1200) that can operate on 5V USB or variable 3V-12V connected on the power outlet :)
    It will be manufactured in aluminum and painted in black (or different colour :))

    I made this in my garage a few months back and it works great. It is made from 3/4" pine stock. That slight height difference promotes much better airflow and cooling for my NP6350, especially because it only has one rear vent. The other vents are located at he bottom of the notebook, and if it's not raised off the work surface it is restricted. My GPU overclocked doesn't go above 64° C and my processor's cores all stay around 67°-70° C while gaming. It cost me nothing in materials because it was scrap I had laying around my shop, and it only took me about an hour to construct. Cutting the grooves with a router was the most time consuming part, but I decided that they were worth the extra effort. There are endless designs and configurations for notebook cooling, and the simple ones can be made at little to no cost.

    lol
    if i have time after to do this one, i'll could try to design another for the P1X0HM/EM/(SM in the future)
    I'll try to test different ventilation system like watercooling with an external variable 3-12V DC electric power :)
    in first i'll try with a basic air-cooling with additional heat sink

    i'll painted it on black chrome (i think)

    hi ,
    need to remedy the problem of dust, dust will kill your hardware, it's not desktop!

    don't worry !
    the dust can't enter inside
    there will be dust filters (that you can use on HVAC systems) every where :D

    If you are running the overclocks requiring this sort of mod, a regular cleaning plan should not be an issue ;)

    I'm not worried, so housing is built to ensure optimum ventilation, modifying the housing of other forces the circuit, it means that the body will be too much air, how to handle this I do not know, the number must be varied in the housing, it must be negative pressure , or cook some bridge

    The laptop draws air not only from the bottom but also from the top. IMHO, if you increase the size of the inlet at the bottom you will reduce the negative pressure at the top, what increase the temperature of some components such as CPU voltage regulator and PCH located under the keyboard.

    I believe they will be helped by the other parts on the opposite side running cooler and the pcb being cooler.

    Meaker's deduction is correct :)
    There will be 2 additionnal fan as i sayed on my first post and it will help to reduce the general ambient temperature

    Looking good! I have a similar project in development (although I have the luxury of manufacturing it largely myself!)

    well ...
    we have a little problem on my company's machines and we haven't received the new digital machines at this time :'(
    I have 5 quote provided by five different company and the most interesting is the one proposed by a japanese company :)
    it costs about 250€ for the first prototype
    i'm wainting for my next pay ship :p

    PS : if someone is able to realize this plate, I'm ready to submit plans made ​​on solidworks 2013 :D

    250€ is not expensive for a prototype version, because itwill be producted with a large workforce :)
    after conclusive tests, the first RC part should cost less expensive on a manufacture chain
    you should paid only once large workforce for all product
    i think it should be product for between 50€ and 100€ for one plat :D

    Prototypes are always expensive since fixed costs get slapped on a single unit.
