I have a Thinkpad L440 that I use as a daily driver. I was looking for a laptop fan cooler, but I don’t know if a fan base that just pours air from below is the most ideal, considering that the hot air comes out of the fan from the left side.
Is there some fan that might attach to the side and helps put cool air in the vent? Does that exist? Does that make sense?
Anyway, If what I say is nonsense, what fan cooler do you recommend for using with my laptop?
It will help a lot of considering that gets a bit hot while gaming, so I play for about one hour or 2, unless the game is pretty low weight like Half Life.
I’m not sure I understand, but you do not want to blow air into the vent. That’s where the heat is coming out. Restricting that airflow will only make things hotter.
I’m not a thinkpad user - this just came up in my feed and someone else might have more specific advice - but generically I’d say to find the hottest spot on the bottom of the laptop and try to find something with a fan near that. That will probably be where your gpu or cpu is located. In addition, just generally using an overheating laptop on a hard surface is a good idea because it permits more airflow, even if you do not have a fan.
