samsung n120 netbook cooler: Does it heat up enough to the point where I need to buy a cooler?

I've had mine for a month (the blue N120-13GBL with the longer battery) and I haven't needed a cooler -- I've left it on, on battery power, all night cycling through a long podcast playlist and it did fine, no heat problem at all.

It comes with a very small fan which you can attach to the heatsink but it virtually doesn't need a fan. It idles about 39c and I have yet to see it get over 48c under a normal load

I installed the Noctua NH-U12S cooling unit and I'm very happy with it. I have an i7-4770K Haswell.

MANUFACTURER RESPONSE: Thanks for asking! Sorry, but no. We would be concerned about heat buildup issues in this scenario, and would not recommend it. Most of the multi-bay NAS and USB multi-drive enclosures have a cooling solution for this reason. Sorry we can't offer a more helpful response, hope the details help!Best wishes-Jeff EverettTechnical Support EngineerPlugable Technologieshttp://plugable.com/supportLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/jeffleverett

no you best bet will be a regular cooler. I put a large ice pack in mine and by the end of the day it has melted, but it keeps it cool/cold until lunch but I am not in that extreme heat

I believe every hardware gets hottee as they get more stressful tasks. As far as I have used, it doesn't get noticeably hotter than any other laptops I have used. All you need is a decent laptop cooler.

I don't use a cooler pad and mine gets pretty warm. Note: I run Linux, which may or may not be a factor...

Depending on the Temp in your home/office. I actually have my computer in one corner of my house that gets pretty warm and my Cooler Master V8 never has a problem. I would say use liquid cooling if you have a small airless environment with a small case that has few places (vent areas on the case) to put fans. Otherwise, air cooling is easier to install/replace and will cool things down just fine.

Maybe, but i would recommend a different cooler many one that has at least a 120mm fan. I replaced mine a few months after I bought it due to high temps and I was not even over clicking my i5-4670k.

not at all...mine is always cold...if you use it on your bed it will get VERY hot...but that happens to any laptop...

I don't have any heat issues with it but any electronics like this should have ample space for ventilation (I.e. don't cram it in a tight entertainment center)

I have a Core i7 laptop which does heat up, there is a slight gap between the surface of the lapdesk and the laptop. It allows the heat to dissipate as there is air flow underneath.

Yes but I only use my laptop when it it plugged into a external monitor. It is a decent cooler for an average gaming laptop. I have 2 diff coolers on mine because it is powerful for gaming and runs hot. Hope this helps

This is an inexpensive card for this type of component. Fans are better generally, but they get dusty, are cheap and tend to fail. A heat sink is what it is. It could be limited in performance in the summer if the computer is in a place that gets warm. So as usual, you pick for your situation and usage.

Yes...If it's described as a retail processor it comes with a heat sink fan.

I haven't experienced any overheating issues with it. However, it should have a little bit of airflow around it.

I would definitely not advise you to use an external fan. I have used the cool spot and I still have some problems withmy computer and heating. It definitely improved my situation. Be sure to check out the cost of the fan and installation and other costs and then compare it to a new computer. Good luck.
