People arguing about lid closing when clearly the biggest sin is a laptop on a carpet. Please put a hard surface under to stop it hoovering up all dust and particles possible and having appalling airflow
I have mine upside down so lid on ground, fan facing upwards but if I had it the correct way up wouldn't the fans be blowing outward/down?
Your intake on the side would still be close to the carpet. Also outward and down would build up heat still
All laptops I have used suck air in from the base and blow it out the side/back. I like your upside down solution.
A hard surface is a start, but a cooler stand is ... cooler. Best give it a separate power source rather than plug it into the laptop, too? Just guessing.
Yeah they can be good, but depends on what the pc is being used for. If it's not running into thermal limits it's much better off just trying to have decent airflow that won't suck up too much dust.
Laptops are usually designed pretty well when it comes to cooling vs. power when placed on a hard surface.
Got it. Thanks for the information!
