What kind of cooling do you use for 5760?

Hi, sorry I keep posting.. I'm just excited about the 5760 I ordered yesterday and I want to get the accessory asap.

I looked through all the cooling mat posts but most of them are mixed with different laptops, and I want to make sure the dimension and airflow is for 5760.

So here are some questions:

1) How does 5760 built-in fans and airflow work? (suck in air from bottom then exhaust at the back?)

2) What part of the Laptop should be focused with air coming in (or out)?

3) What cooling do you use?


Since I'm not very techy but come from craftsman/draftsman background, I might just design build a cooling mat of my own that precisely cools the 5760 on exact spots... Same with carrying case.

 

The downside of the coolers is usually the noise and the levitation.If you are not going to overclock your laptop, you won't need a cooler because the laptops undergo many stress tests before being released.
BTW, have looked at the cooling guide ?

 

The CPU I am choosing is:
Intel Core 2 DUO 2.33GHz (T7600) Processor (Merom /4MB L2 Cache/ 667 FSB)

is this overclockable? If possible I'd like to, and also know the downside of doing it. I actually want a cooler because I want to use it on my lap. I did look at the cooling guide but it only talks about two models, so I wanted to know what other people use. The LapCool4 seems nice, but I want to know other choices as well.

Thanks.

 

I don't use a cooler, I have a 2 year warranty so I'm not too bothered but honestly I don't really have a need for one. The only part that I think gets hot is the front underneath the touchpad. The rest of the notebook stays cool enough withe the built in fans.

No T7600 is not overclockable, but T7600G can be overclocked to 2.66GHz.

 

let me correct you: to 3.16GHz

 

I use the Zalman ZM-NC1000, bought from Newegg on-sale for $50. It's extremely quiet, even at its highest setting. I've never seen a notebook cooler like it. What makes the airflow effective is that instead of blowing cool air straight up with its two fans, it distributes the air more evenly throughout the entire bottom by channeling it across the whole surface area. I'm sure you can find reviews that better explains what I'm talking about. I have the black brushed aluminum and is always cool to the touch.
