G73JH Heating problem and cooling options

[ChrisToePha]

Tilla, that's the NC-3000S the model I was referring to is that NC-3000U.

I am debating now I've did so much research, it is either the NC-2000 or the CoolerMaster SF-19 do not know which one to get.

These pics are from me. And it is the U-version.

Ah ok my bad haha. Ok so I am deciding between the NC-3000U or the Coolermaster SF-19. I really can't decide between the two, so I'll ask for your opinion @tilla. I am aware of how loud the Coolermaster SF-19 is but it is very effective for temperature decrease, but the NC-3000U is very effective, and quieter, but I am not sure which one to take.

Like @tilla what are the good things about the NC-3000U and what is bad about it, I really just can't decide, and both are about the same price. So which one should I get for my G73JH? >.<

[ChrisToePha]

Anyone help me decide? >.<

Get this one:

NotePal U3 - Cooler Master - Leading Provider of Computer Case | Cooler | Power Supply

- and two 120mm fans:

Cooling -> Case Fan -> Blade Master - Cooler Master - Leading Provider of Computer Case | Cooler | Power Supply

- and one of these:

12vAdapters.com: 12 Volt DC Power Supplies Adapters. 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Amp 12V (1A, 2A, 2.5A, 3A, 3.5A, 4A, 5A, 6A)

Place the two 120mm fans on the U3 "G73JH hotspots" - how? I won´t show you my solution, it´s crazy, find your own!

Connect the fans to the 12V adaptor - how? Same as the above!

Use the default U3 fans when browsing the net etc., and the 120mm's when gaming. You can probably solder some sort of powercontrol between the fans and the 12V adaptor, so they don´t run full speed, but I prefer full throttle, temps dropped 12C...

Enjoy!

A notebook cooler isn't a solution to the TC's problem. Something is wrong with his laptop and the heat will only increase, even with a cooler.

[ChrisToePha]

No, I just want to keep my laptop cool, it doesn't overheat and shutdown, it just gets hot. Also I just wanted to keep it cool as I will be playing it extensively this summer with Diablo III, so I wanted to pick up a cooler, I'm deciding between the

Zalman NC-3000u
or
CoolerMaster SF-19

Both have had good ratings not sure which one I want.

verify fans functioning. repaste.

interim- try taking the shoulderplate off. four screws on the bottom in the space the battery goes, then some finesse work pulling that plate off that sits above the vents and behind the display. that will expose the area above the radiators just inside the grille covers for the vents.

can direct an external fan directly across the radiator fins on a side thats not working. (facing the screen- the left for the cpu, right for the gpu. seems you are having mainly cpu issues.). such a measure should be a fair stopgap measure compared to an under chassis cooling pad.

still better to get the cause fixed.

cpu side sadly is the more annoying repaste.
fans are easy to replace comparatively, but hard to get replacements for offhand.

you can check out the types of mods you can do in my thread. Nearly everyone is good for any model.

repasting isn't hard and for 150 bucks thats BS price. Hell mail it to me and pay me 250 and i'll modify it with all my mods

hackness and Hopelessly Faithful, even if all it needs is repasting, Im gonna have a professional do it, and the Asus partner in my country charges $75 an hour; I have read this laptop is hard to open, so if they take more than an hour checking it out, thats gonna be $150 right there, plus any repair it would need. This laptop cost me a whole month of salary so I wont risk it by doing it myself. Im still looking for alternatives, see if somebody opens it up for less.

Here is the report, I scrolled it down because I figured what is at the top is not important.
