I dont think its a good idea to attatch it with tin foil.........

Looks solid to me.
Tin foil delivers, as jaardsi would say.

....Huh..?
Does that thing actually work?
Posted 18 years ago2006-06-16 18:34:12 UTC Post #185401
I very much doubt it, the tinfoil would more than likely rip off or it would provide next to no airflow at a speed low enough to stop that happening

I'd suggest if you were to use foil that lighting foil would be a better idea than reflective aluminum. It's a matte foil of a sort that's designed for use on theatrical and studio lighting equipment and is designed not to heat up as quickly, if at all. Since the idea is to cool it off the external heat from the room will not affect the foil, nor will any heat coming off of the side of the computer.

Kind of silly for a laptop that's presumably portable, though ;P

I have a spare fan in the closet, might try something similar that draws some air from the air conditioner and pumps it to the back of the computer. That thing gets hot :[

Pointless success.

Laptops are designed (at least, the good ones) to spread the heat evenly.

can you hook up phase change to that? I thought not

You bumped the thread... And I've already removed that stupid fan. :)
Posted 18 years ago2006-06-29 11:16:49 UTC Post #187467
Well,, it pwned.
But I wondered what the point of having a laptop with a fan like that?
I mean, a laptop is made to be carried around etc.
And it wouldn't be very easy to carry around a gigantic fan, lol
