Best Laptop Cooler?

[OHAB]

I am sure this has been touched on before, but I figured I'd start a new thread for updated responses. I have a Toshiba Satelite A505-S6033, and currently I have a cooler master cooling pad that comes with it, as well as a larger much more powerful fan than the 3 it comes with.

It usually helps, but not always. Is there something out there a bit more powerful out there?

How long have you had it? What is telling you it's getting too hot?

 

[OHAB]

Over a year, and it freezes a lot. I do live in Costa Rica where it's always hot and humid... but this thing shuts off from over heating anytime I'm not using some sort of cooling pad. I probably also need to get the paste on the CPU replaced also.

You probably need to clean the inside fans. It could be dirt blocking the internal heatsink from property breathing.

Gotcha. This has been a problem for me for like the last 9 months or so, but I'll try buying a can of the pressurized air to see if that works. Thanks.

Humidity is killer. Is there an air conditioner in the room you use the laptop?

 

[OHAB]

NO... but it is EXTREMELY humid here. Is there anything I can do to fix/reverse this issue?

you could run a dehumidifier or as ketchup79 said, air con.

Just transferring humid air is not going to make things much better. You need something to dehumidify the air in the room if you want things to improve. As Ayah mentioned, a dehumidifier will help, if an air conditioner is not feasible.

Any chance you could migrate to a desktop? There would be a lot better options available for the hot air to escape, humidity notwithstanding.

its called a rhino ferrert... i got mine at frys.. i dont know if u can still get them.

So far its the BEST laptop cooler i have used.
Why?

Cuz it clips onto the vent of your heat sink and pulls air though it.
More air going though heat pipes = better cooling.

So basically your super charging the POS stock fan in your laptop to pull more then 3-4x the vol of air inside it for improved thermals.
