Hello. So i'm using a Lenovo Legion Y520 for gaming and i have an attached cooler below it to increase the cooling since i use it for intensive gaming. Yesterday i had an error (Power surge on the USB port) causing my USB ports not working and i had to uninstall/install the drivers, but for some...

I have a Lenovo Thinkpad x230 with fairly high specs: an i7 CPU, 16 GB RAM, and it runs with a single SSD in the mSATA slot. This is an Ivy Bridge era machine, so it isn't exactly new, but it has been well kept and is clean, physically and software wise with a relatively recent full...

Since most graphics cards are using open air coolers, as they prove to be more effective at dissipating heat, why are there no laptops (that I can find) that use this design in cooling? I know this seems like a silly question, but I'm just curious because laptops are getter more...

Ok so people used to make fun of how expensive the Razer Pro 17 was, but the used prices became reasonable. I can get either of these for $1700. Thats a 17 inch 4k display with a GTX1080 for $1700... not bad. So aside from price, which would perform better for productivity work? I heard some...

Hey guys :) Need some input here. You see, ideally, I want this laptop to last till December 2020, or even till after that to have as a nice backup. Ok so, I have the Dell Inspiron 7559 (i7 6700HQ, 16GB RAM, 960M and 1 TB HDD). My ambient room temperature is usually between 25-30 degrees...

Hello guys. Basicly i was playing league on my hp g5 250 laptop that i bought new 18 months ago when it shut down. Prior to that i had no overheating issues as my fps didnt drop in game.

Please help. I have an ASUS FX503VD and I'm really confused if I'm going to buy a cooling pad for it. I'm playing fallout 3 at max settings with temps 74 degs Celsius max at both gpu and cpu. This is while overboost fan mode is on. Please help me decide.

Hello everyone, for quite some time I've been browsing around to choose a laptop but I just can't find the combo I'm looking for at this price tag. I need three things. A good matte IPS panel (not 4k) with a decent color accuracy (highly preferably a 17 inch model), a fairly well built body...

Hello, I am having an issue with my computer not detecting my CPU or GPU fans, whenever the fans ramp up my computer starts to make this obnoxiously loud beeping sound, then when the fans stop the beeping stops. And I know it's not an overheating issue, the CPU doesn't get above 70C on load and...

I want to improve the cooling pad fan speed connected to my laptop usb port. Can I do it by using a voltage boost converter like this?

Hello everyone, I need some help here. I bought a budget micro PC case for gaming and struggle with high GPU temperatures. My GTX 1080 runs at 82 C on full load side cover closed and with the side cover opened it drops to 72C (big deal for me personally as the fans are not as crazy loud either)...

I have a Sony Viao, with a messed up fan. This started about a year ago, but never caused me to many problems so I never fixed it. It would just occasionally rev up and operate really loudly for a minute or two, but then stop and I could use the laptop. For the past week it would rev up and...

My laptop, the Dell Inspirion 7577 i5 with the Nvidia 1060 MaxQ gets super hot on the top right above the function keys. It is hotter on the right side than the left. I was wondering if there was any place in the body that anyone could recommend adding (cutting) additional vents into it to...

I have been looking on the internet for the best cooling pad, by best I mean the most efficient but they were nearly the same but people said that they didn't have a good cooling. So I have an Asus n580vd-dm160t and I would like to know what is the best cooling pad. Thank you.

Hello there. So I'm not sure why one of my fans are not working. My BIOS has been reset, but if it is from the bios, there is no fan option in it. The Fan #2 doesn't work(0 RPM) when the laptop's fan mode is not on turbo mode, but if I turn on the turbo mode, it works but doesn't work as fast as...
