Which direction does the air flow to, does the fan suck air out of the laptop or blow air into it?

It sucks air in from the bottom and blows cool air onto the base on your laptop. It has two legs to elevate the back for more air flow.

The fan blows up at the laptop. In my case it doesn't blow "into" it, as there are no air intake vents on the underside - but my laptop has metal underneath the plastic across the entire bottom of the laptop, presumably to spread the heat, and this helps dissipate that quite well.

The fan blows into the laptop. And indeed, as E. Borah said it helps dissipate the heat very well.

It blows toward the card. I found that I only needed one fan to cool my Adaptec Raid card, so now have a spare fan (yea).

Blows air up, under laptop. And it is quite, u will not even know it's there

On the one I got, the fans blow air up against the bottom of the laptop. If you look closely at the fan casings, the fans can easily be popped out and flipped to blow air away from the laptop. You would just need a screw driver to remove the metal fan grates so the fans could be flipped and then you can screw the grates onto the other side of the fans.

I've had both, and the one with the fan was quite a bit flimsier. This may vary from production run to production run, however. I keep close track of my computer temps (having once had the misfortune to own an HP laptop which melted) and the passive cooling seems to work as well as the fan.

negative. well. perhaps if you turn all the so that they blow air into the case it would be a positive pressure. I run the fans on the front pulling in air and the top fan and back fan so that they force the air out and my power supply sucks air in from the base and out the back independent of the case ventilation. I have two fans I planned on adding to the bottom forcing air into the case. at this point the motherboard temp cpu and memory are staying cool. I have have sabertooth mb that has thermal controls for the fan.

No you need to have the Power Adapter to make the Fans run. For me it's perfect. I have an 18.4 inch laptop which fits perfectly, and a 17 inch laptop, which I mainly use. The two fans cool the laptops without any problems. I normally am at home when I use my laptops, so I'm always by an outlet. I hope that helps. Good Luck.

Well all fans blow air in one direction... It's how you install it. You can install them facing in or out this is a standard with computer case fans.

Yes, it definitely is both. It is slightly louder than the fan in your laptop. I have run it for hours with no problem. I give this laptop platform very high marks.

No, not all. Very quiet when the laptop is placed on it and you have 2 modes to run the fans for optimum cooling. Had a month or so now and I love it. Wish I bought 2 of them so I have a backup just in case.

The air flow is blowing at the laptop and the light range only defines the location of the base of cooler. The fan is easy to clean simply lift the mesh screen.The fan makes a slight humming sound. I'm quite happy overall and I would recommend it.

I don't think it was designed like a laptop where there is no fan speed at all until the processor reaches a certain temperature. Mine runs all the time as well, but quiet with no load, louder with a load. The fan speed change is immediate too which shows to me it is load driven, not temperature driven.

System , somewhere in the case , probably where air isnt directly hitting it . CPU , on/near heatsink (dont let it get too near the fan .HDD - ?????????? I just have this one in my system as well ...

it take the laptop cool, but there is no fan, so is just the material used to make this who take cool, sorry for my bad english

There are definitely vents on the bottom. There also appear to be some kind of slit just under the left and right side near the front that might be vents as well, but the ones on the bottom definitely vent air when the computer is running a game or something intense. It does not get overly hot, however, in any case.

When you plug it in you can tell which way the airflow, and is it is reverseable so however you want it to blow it does both.
