Qosmio X505-Q896 Best Cooling Fan?

I bought this computer and it's on its way to me. Just to be safe and I plan to use the computer for a long time each day, I think it would be best to invest on a cooling pad. I am not sure where the fans on the Qosmio are located on the bottom. Are there any cooling fan recommendations anyone could throw out?



I am looking at this for the moment. Is this good / bad / okay?

I don't use a cooler, but if you find one that works good for the Qosmio, let us know as I might also buy it.

Keep us updated.

 

I have this one sitting underneath my X505-898. I like the fact you can turn the fan speed up or down. It comes with two ways to power it. Either use the usb power from the computer, or plug it into an outlet. It does cost $$ 70bucks.

u3 should be better.

 

I'm using the U3. It's been doing a good job so far, I can't give you any precise numbers. The three movable fans work well, its quiet, and the angle and weight is less than a NZXT. I use a lapdesk that already has an angle to it, so that keeps it from becoming uncomfortable.

My x505-Q893 fits near perfectly onto it. There is a tiny bit of overhang, although I really wouldn't consider it as such. The side curves up from the bottom, and the curve is only part that sticks out. The U series from Notepal is designed so that your laptop can fit into it, and surprisingly the x505 does. I haven't tried fitting it in to a carry bag like that, so don't know how it'd survive transit, but it should fit fine and save a ton of space to bring the cooler along.

(My first post! I finally have something I can contribute!)

 

I got one of these and absolutely love it. It puts out some serious air. With dual 140mm fans. I would recommend it to everyone. Y=The q896 fits great on it with room to spare.

A lot of customers have found the Coolermasters to be great for larger laptops, Antec also do a cooler which can handle 17" machines which is comfortable on your lap

I used one with my old Clevo

 

I had one of these for my old 15" dell. IMHO, hated it.

 

I've got the x505-q850, it's on 24x7x365 with occasional reboots and routine cleaning. Even gaming, it's never gotten excessively hot where I thought I needed additional cooling. (Unlike my last Toshiba) and I live in Florida. You may try running it without and see you'd be just wasting your money.
