I have a 17 inch and my fan stops working from time to time.....Will this keep it cool enough so it doesn't shut itself down??

I have bought two types of these in the past week. (not this one). I keep feeling heat on my lap. Do you feel heat with this one?

Yes. It has a great design. I have used other fans and was always concerned with blocking the airflow. This design is much better and has a soft cushion on the bottom for resting on your lap. I use it non stop, over 8 hours a day while I run my home business on my computer.

Is your concern for the lapair or your PC. The Lapair runs when your PC is in use, because thats when cooling is necessary.

Just my opinion... I am not an airflow expert...I don't think it would have a major impact. Ours makes a 90% before exiting and it doesn't cause any issue. depending on your setup I would be most concerned with distance between the fan and exit point...

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 was used on my 17 in laptop. If it had continued working, it would have been acceptable. I knocked laptop off of a table and the drop pulled the wire connection out of fan on 1st day i owned it. I was able to tape it together and keep it running for another year but the connections should have been stronger.

My fan never shuts off. I leave mine to maintain my batteries for my back up sump pump and I do occasionally charge other batteries I have lying around and it maintains the batteries quite well, but it never turns off the fan in certain modes. If the fan should shut off I'd like to know because it's annoying when I'm in the basement for an extended amount of time.

My fan is still waiting to be installed so I can't honestly answer your question, but according to the ratings, the fan should do a great job on that small an area. I plan to install mine soon...........

I've had mine since November, the only issue i have with mine is that one of the smaller fans sticks/freezes on start up. With a small "bump" it works fine. Other than that i have no other problems with my unit.

I have a 15.4 inch PC & I think it works great because the fans is place at the right place where the PC is hot. It might be a little small for ur PC thou if u want it to fit perfectly. Hope that helps!

That would work fine. Just make sure you feel which way the fan is blowing and turn it on the appropriate side to blow down.

It doesnt cool it, it keeps it cool because it is not flat on a desk or table, I have a 17 inch and have been using it for at least 5 years now.

I would have to say that the fan will not work due to fan blade sizing and the screw mount holes.Best advice is to do a google search for just your part number FD8015U12S of which there are many out there to purchase.Amazon does list having one used fan and I would certainly inquire about its condition.Hope this helps.Jerry BrownMedina, OH

I have the dell 17" laptop i7 processor and it run very hot. When I purchased the Cooler master my laptop bottom is always cool. The air flow direct blow to the bottom of my laptop. The led lighting is shine to the bottom of the desk. It only noticeable when at dark. You don't really need to clean the fan, unless you see the dust build-up then clean both top & bottom surface of the housing with the Swiffer Cleaning Wipes (with Electrostatic charged).

A 17 inch laptop would overlap the thing by a couple inches on either side, and so the cooling fan may not really be effective---

I don't know about the fan. I set my machine for 12 hours when I go out of town. I haven't had any problems

If you are using it for a serious gaming machine, it may shut down from overheating itself. Otherwise it seemed to cool itself fine.

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.
