Can you make a gt 1030 better than a 750ti? Every test I've seen only shows around a 10fps difference. The new farming simulator lists the 750ti in it minimum requirements lol.
@@christopherbartlett2153 Well, any fans, no matter how good, get loud at 2000 or 3000 RPM. So no, your fans were not defective unless you got something like a ticking or grinding noise from the bearings or motors.
If you uninstall the cooler's Spectre and Meltdown patches, it increases cooling by 9% but leaves your hyperthreaded fans open to speculative execution attacks.
I cobbled one together from 2*120mm generic case fans, spliced to a USB cable to run them at 5V (yes I know this might kill these generic case fans, but they're generic case fans, I'll just replace them with other generic ones). It actually helps a lot for my laptop when it's compiling, as otherwise it just starts to thermal throttle.
I’ve been using this exact stand for the last 6 months and it’s been working great for me, the difference for me while using it can be 50% more frames, the reason that I think that my results are so much better is my laptop is a gateway creator series which has a very open bottom which lends itself well for the fans pushing air in it. Definitely depends on the cooling system of the laptop that you are using it with.
If you’re gonna have the laptop lid closed and plugged into a monitor, why not just flip the laptop upside down so the fans are facing up and not blocked
Unless I'm mistaken, USB can only provide 5 Watts unless a higher or fast charging rate is negotiated. That means every single one of those fans is splitting 500 milliamp at 5 volts. I would personally just rewire this so the fans are getting fed a 12-volt source instead of a 5-volt source, and just run a small 12 volt inverter. Might be something worth trying.
Before you even mentioned it, I thought "what if he made his own mesh with noctua fans mounted to it? Doesn't seem hard, get a mesh office monitor stand, noctua fans, zip ties, and a USB fan hub and it's a done deal.
I subscribed and like every video because you don't have ads in between your videos unlike a lot of other content creators who add 5-6 ads in videos with similar time as yours.
would the laptop get better thermals if left open? I feel like some extra heat would dissipate passively through the keyboard, compared to how its somewhat insulated by the screen
I do a fair bit of 3D rendering on my 8-core Ryzen laptop and have found that these types of stands do help maintain higher clocks, which can shave a meaningful amount of time off a day-long render job. They're also nice for providing elevation when I'm drawing on the screen with a stylus. That said, a cookbook stand will get you most of the way there for less money.
Definitely make one with large fans. My Targus one saved my lap one particularly hot summer. Using two fans it’s quiet and has a basic hide in shadows design. The neoprene makes it comfy in the lap as well. No adjustment for tilt though.
Good video as usual. The big thing when buying a cooling stand is that all the fans on the planet won't help if they don't line up with the laptops fans.
I built my own laptop cooling pad with an perforated laptop holder, four 80mm Enermax fans, and a cheap four channel Kingwin fan controller. It actually made a difference cooling my old Clevo P750TM1-G with a 8700K and a 1070.
I have a laptop cooling pad very similar to this one and it's pretty amazing. Simple, well built and does what I need it to do. Only 5 cores tho... but it's super quiet.
I found a PS4 Pro top cover on Ebay. So I drilled holes and mounted a 140mm fan on top of the cover (not wrecking my top cover) and used a USB to 3 pin fan adaptor. It keeps my PS4 Pro really cool. I bet you could improve a laptops cooling.
@@ashibilev this company also refers to fans as "cores" so I'm not trusting anything I see on the box. Besides I've never ever once seen Dawid run with a joke in any of his videos nope, nuh uh, not Dawid.
Should use those fans they use in rack-mounted servers for your laptop chiller. You’ll have some very thinly sliced flies and permanent hearing damage.
Please do a video where all you do is say the words "cooooling", "sloooow" and "lowest" over and over again. And maybe throw in a "Aaaaay!" once in a while just to mix it up.
You should get a Coolermaster U3. with 2 sets of the included fans for a total of 6 fans. this is what i use, and it works perfectly. Not forgetting it is suitable for even the biggest of Laptops+ keeping em cool.
I know you aren't going to see this but i just built my first pc with your tutorial and honestly it helped a ton. I still had to do a bit more research for the gpu bit I got through without stage 4 herpes or a heart attack from stress, lol
All those generic laptop coolers have more or less the same specs and performance. I would LOVE to see one with noctua fans, BUT if you make a custom base, make it so the fans blow directly into the intake of the laptop fans. It's not ideal for every laptop model but a few years back I made a quick custom base using this trick and with only two 60mm fans my cpu temp dropped 15 degrees...
Hey Dawid, Ive been lurking on your channel for some time now, and I just got done binging everything! Your channel is a breath of fresh air in the tech community and I just wanted to say thank you! (Also yes, I really want to see the "Coorel" with Noctua fans!)
Yes do a DIY laptop cooler! I was looking into that with usb to 3 pin fan! I just bought a cooler for my son yesterday and also got one with the higher elevation settings as thought would cool better... No RGB though so lose frames on that!
I had a similar cooler only I took the fans off and put a 220mm jumbo fan under it, then channeled the air so it wouldn't escape around the edges too much. This lost most of the noise and cooled better than the original fans.
what bugs me is the fan direction , i recently purchased one of these laptop coolers but the fans were facing so the cold air would blow into the laptops blower fans instead of the one in the video. I also im interested in modding the laptop pad and putting a few noctua 140mm inside.
I honestly think putting a waterblock in that stand makes more of a difference for leading away heat. Otherwise maybe with the bottom of the laptop open to allow more direct airflow on the components inside the laptop.
If a company made a modular one of these as in being able to slide the fans to a configuration where the fans are under the ventilation of the laptop they would be number 1 on Amazon and actually do something unlike the rest
Laptop cooler performance is entirely depend on the ventilation you have on the back of the laptop. If the fans is aligned with the laptop ventilation, it does help a lot..
Since real PC components aren't available, Dawid buying stupid PC shit and making review videos is the only thing keeping me interested in watching a techtube channel. Keep up the tech entertainment!
I think that laptop cooler is remake from one I had almost 10 years ago. It did not have the display thing, but otherwise looked almost just like that. It was a fixed angle, didn't have those adjustments. It had two big fans. But, the design and grille shape seems to look the same. I had to use that with the poor cooling solution that HP had on laptops at that time.
They should simply redesign the heatsink being used in laptops to something more new, maybe they need to distribute the heat pipes left and right toward the rear with 2 fans exhausting
I believe there's some brands of laptop coolers with adjustable fans which are literally just a bunch of pc fans on a connector board that you tie to the mesh. still though would be interesting to see you buy a mesh laptop stand and tie some fans onto it and make your own laptop cooler and see how it compares.
Ive seen plastic trim pieces peeling off the screen when people use laptops closed like this because the bottom part gets really hot and the top part can't take it. It's a big nono for me.
I own one of this thing and the biggest problem is that it blows tons of dust in the laptop cooling system. I stopped using mine because I had to replace 2 times my laptop cooling system !
I actually have that one! Except its called the TopMate C11 and I bought it on Amazon for like $20 cause I wanted a bigger one. I have a Gigabyte Aorus 17G XC. I mean, for $20 it works surprisingly well and I didn't feel like I got ripped off. My daughter loves playing with the light modes so, that's a bonus in my book.
the fans on the bottom of a laptop pull air in, and the fans on the laptop cooler should push air in to the laptop, but they were PULLING air. Seems backwards to me
I've got the same cooler and see over a 10 degree change in temp. That's good in my book, and better than any of the cheaper ones you can buy on Amazon. Next time review a cooling pad with a laptop that actually has ventilation on the bottom...
Have you tried plugging the cooler into a wall adapter to get more power to the fans? I imagine the USB port on the laptop isn't giving that much juice
