>Point fan at laptop to keep it cooled offYou can’t explain why this doesn’t work
>>109783302The friction of the moving air heats the laptop
>>109783302it does work
>>109783302all of the laptop's heat is inside, unless you open it up you'd basically cool only the shell
>>109783302Depends on the color of the fan.
>>109783302>you need more?
>>109783409>AIslop picdo us all a favour and jump in front of a train
>>109783444>jump in front of a trainindian threat
>>109783409I jerryrigged my stand and so.e noctua fans instead :^) However, OP's solution is also good.
>>109783409i use one of those to cool 3d printer plates down
>>109783302Static pressure you mongoloid.
>>109783409do these actually work
>>109783652that design does worked for me
>>109783652Not sure. I've never had sex so I have no way of knowing if I'm sterile.
>>109783652It depends on where the holes for the intake air at the bottom are located, too close to the center it's when they work bestBeware, these things get VERY loud
>>109783302It does work just not as well as you think it does.
>>109783302It only works if you spritz your laptop with water occasionally.
>>109783302It doesn't work because the fan is pushing back all the hot air inside your computer.In terms of efficiency it's extremely low and impractical usage of that 40w fan power.
>>109783409>>109783444>poondia beautiful poondia
>>109783302it cools the ambient air around the laptop, can't deny that
>>109783302Take the case off and it works fine.
>>109783302>Point a fan at my house to keep my bedroom cool
>>109783302One of my shitty Seagate external drives (don't buy Seagate) overheated during badblocks or a data transfer, I forgot. Since then I just turn my fan (I have tinnitus and have it running 24/7 to drown it out) to the external drive. It lowers the temps by like 20 degrees which is crazy. Just a normal house fan like in your pic.
>>109783302It sort of does due to cooling the general area around the laptop, but it's incredibly minor, without even testing it I'd say 2-3°C diff tops, and that's being generous
>>109783302I do this and it works.
laptops should have hatches for heatsinks that let you slide them open so you can point fans directly at themevery laptop with a dedicated gpu should also have 2kg worth of heatsink so it doesn't have to be throttled
>>109783302This legit works with my desktop case thougheverbeit
>>109783302anon discovers convection
>>109783302I actually tried this back in the 2000s because our shitty retail craptop would overheat while playing CSS, it actually did help somewhat
>>109783652>push cool air through intake ports>air inevitably exits through exhaust ports>BRO D-DO FANS COOL?!?!?
>>109783652kind of if you're okay with having the laptop equivalent of a retard helmet on all the time
