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...

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...

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.

Basically, I have the HP Notebook 15 (i7), which is a great laptop. However, it usually overheats while gaming for some hours. I thought of buying a cooling pad, but I found out my laptop doesn't have bottom vents, so the cooling pad will basically just blow air into the hot plastic bottom...

Hello there, I have an old Dell Precision M4500 which works great except that the fan has started to rattle. Now i removed the fan from the cooler unit and to my eyes it doesn't seem like there is a problem with the fan, it doesn't make any sound by itself when I spin it. Now when i put it back...

My husband recently got an LG smartphone. We bought a vent mount for it but he's wary about using it when the AC or heat are going. Is it safe for the phone to have those temps blowing on it? the design of our dashboard makes it hard to find a dash mount that will work.

I am confused. when a cooling pad blows air in doesn't it effect the hot air that is being blown out. Doesn't the hot air get pushed back inside?

My laptop's CPU cooling fan has stopped working. I am worried there are other issues besides just the fan at this point. If I'm looking at repairing more than the fan, I would rather just buy a desktop... As a note, while it was on it had 100% memory and 100% disc space being used. The CPU...
