Does this fan work or fit in a laptop?

It was not for a laptop, it was for my desktop and it fits and works just fine.

I didn't buy this fan. I bought Pixnor 6-inch 360-degree Rotating USB Powered Mini Metal Electric Fan Desk Cooling Fan for PC / Laptop / Notebook (Black) and I love it.

Has a dual fan that forces air up to the bottom of the laptop, which makes sense because the fan on the laptop draws air from the bottom and exhausts it out the side or back. This way the fans work together and not against each other.

It blows the air towards the bottom of the laptop. It works incredibly well. My laptop constantly overheated after upgrading to 16Gb of RAM and adding a larger hard drive until I started using this fan

no. the plug that powers the fan connects to your USB port on your computer, but the fan itself doesnt have a usb port.

My experience is that the fan is both quiet and effective. I can't say about the fit.

No, it fits into a PC Card port, aka a PCMCIA slot. Most laptops don't have them anymore. I'm using these cards with 10 year old laptops that all have the PC Card port

It depends on which model of fan you have and which options it has... My guess is that it probably will not work though.

I have a 17" HP laptop and it helps cool it by at least 50%, as I play games alot. The 5 fans it has is a big plus! I highly recommend it!

Honestly, I don't know. Despite the fact that it was supposed to work with most fans, it did not work with mine and I finally gave up and bought a new fan.

The size of your laptop does make a difference, but I've found that offsetting your computer by aligning it to the right of the fan really helps with noise reduction. Try placing your laptop directly against the gray buffer on the right, and on top of the bottom buffer. You'll have to shift it a little at a time to get the perfect sweet spot. Another suggestion I have is placing a pen/pencil/straw on the bottom gray buffer and placing your laptop so that it rests about 1/2 inch over it, this really reduces a lot of the noise. There are sweet spots that make the fan nearly silent, so just keep moving it around towards the right to find it. Hope this helps!

I can only say that it is a good fan, it would not fit myGeforce GP520 so I stuck it on the cooling fins. It works very well. It is a symetrical 3 screw one. and, as I recall, the measurement given is between the legs. Check your old one. That is the best I can do, sorry.

Hello, it depends on the fan model number, contact us for details on compatibility! :)

As long as your current fan uses screws and not plastic clips this one should work without any problems (I've used this fan on several different brands of computers (e.g. Dell, HP, etc.) without any additional steps needed) - if your existing fan uses plastic clips then you may need to install the adapter to the mobo so it will accept the screws instead of the plastic clips... Good luck! RH

No, it will not work in a laptop. It is designed for a spacious desktop/tower with lots of room for an attached cooling fan. You need to search for the Intel (or AMD) CPU that mates to your laptop's specific motherboard.

It souns like your CPU is overheating. If the Fan is making weird noises, its broken and its probably not providing the proper ventilation for your CPU. Then the CPU overheats and causes your laptop to shut down within that period of time. You need to find and replace the Fan thats failing.
