My laptop overheats a lot, but mostly on the top left vent. Does the fan cool that area as well as the center?

The laptop has inlet vents on the bottom and exhaust vents on the top, so any air you pump into the bottom will increase the flow through all of the pathways. That's just how the laptop is designed. This has one large fan I the middle, which will definitely force enough air through to make a difference in all sections of the laptop.

I have a 17 inch laptop and this cooler reaches all the bottom vents. Both in the front AND back. And back left side vest if i place the laptop off center on the cooler a bit.the cooler is the same if not a hair deeper then the laptop's depth. So it should reach that vent for cooling.

My laptop does exactly the same thing, and the answer is yes it cools all over. Sometimes when I first turn the fan on I slide it a bit so the left side is more towards the center just to get immediate results but once the side is cooler to the touch I center the laptop on the pad and it maintains the lower temperatures just fine.

I know exactly what you're talking about, I had the same problem. The fan is cooling at the center, and when I got it I really didn't think it do anything with the problem. But to my surprise it helped a lot, when it's elevated at that angle and has the spot vented it allows more hot air out also when the cooler master fan is hitting the center of your laptop the cool air reaches to the top left vent. This fan solve my problems and it all started at the top left vent which will get my entire laptop hot if I played long enough. As long as you don't have a problem with you laptop at an angle (didn't bother me) this is a solid choice then. Any more concerns ask away, I'll be more than happy to answer.

It's a fan. It sucks the air on one side (the side that the laptop sits on) and blows the air out the other direction. This chill mat is fantastic! Just saying...

They designed this fan so that you can optimize the individual fan orientation to your liking. Although it can be somewhat limited you are able to freely adjust the fans' placement to your liking. If I were you I would change the fan position to cool that are of your laptop more effectively but ultimately it's up to you what you do with it.

It should be really quiet, even when on high perf. Make sure not to block bottom vents with blanket or so on. In worse case download the laptop heat meter and test it.

It has a perforated layer which I think dissipates the heat. All I know is that my lap stays cool and laptop no longer shuts off from overheating. Hope this helps.

Naturally you want to keep air flow circulating through the vents, if you're laptop vent is towards the bottom of your laptop I'd say that would be ideal for a more centered point of air flow instead of half's of two fans. If you can center it go for it, if not the difference of air flow is minor.

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.

Hello and thank you for your question. The laptop pad blows air "towards" your unit. The clutes/slots help draw the radiant heat from the laptop and the two, albeit quiet motors, blow cool air from underneath the pad and towards the laptop's base. It like a convection heat dispersal system, like in your house. The vents along the soffit help the roof vents on top of the roof draw cool, outside air and the hot heat rises to the top and out the vent on the roof. I hope this helps. Cheers!!

I just ran it for an hour and checked. Yes, it's fairly cool to the touch everywhere except of course the main vent where the hot air is being forced out, but even that was not too hot to touch on a medium setting. Hope that helps.

yes. I got it for my son. he loves it. Keeps the laptop cooled off so it doesn't overheat.

My computer has never overheated while in this case; however, it does get fairly hot sometimes. I'd say that it gets just as hot as it normally does when I am working on my computer. Usually when I work on my computer, the bottom of my laptop is on a blanket, a pillow in my lap, or the bed anyway; not very airy. Gotta love those late night school assignments :)

Have not had a problem with overheating. The portion of the case that attaches to the base of the computer has a gap built in to allow for venting on the sides.

Yes it allows for you to position your laptop over the fan to provide ultimate cooling effect.

No if you open it up you will see there are two fans which vent out the back. This review (http://www.notebookcheck.net/Review-Asus-N550JV-CN201H-Notebook.98311.0.html) has heat measurements and concludes that the temps are pretty reasonable.

When playing a heavy game, the laptop can get hot however there is a "super fan" button that you can press to increase the RPM for the fans that is pretty noisy but gets the job done. I've never had an issue with the laptop overheating.The sceen quality is really great, colors are vibrant, even games which are older look really great with this laptop.

it depends on the design of your laptop cooling system. you have to make sure you don't block the cooling vents.

That's the exact configuration I have. This does help. It's not as cool as I would like though. But it definitely cools it more than it was.
