Does the air flow towards to or away from laptop? What is the range of the LED lighting? How to maintain and clean the fan?

I've had mine for about 6 months. The 2 fans blow directly up onto laptop and you can feel, depending on speed, the air dispersed to sides. Blue lights are quite bright. The remind me of the underlights on cars these days. ; p I keep mine on low speed and adjust the height/ angle on the very 1st "rung". I don't game but I do turn it up when grandchildren come over and use it. I have a Presario notebook. It does get very warm which is why I purchased this. If it did breakdown I would get another just like it in a flat second. Cleaning?. I havent tried to take it apart. I blow it out while running on low with canned air. Hope this helps.

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).

Blow towards the laptop, its just a basic blue light at bottom let you know the fan is on (no range), you take the cover off but I have not done mine yet as my environment I work is is relatively dust free.

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 keep a fan next to it. I have a ceiling fan I keep on low and an air purifier that runs, so there is air movement in my home. Seems that is all the air I need, it works great that way.

Using the computer for everyday work, the fan rarely has a need to even come on, using the graphics heavily, where you use the Nvidia instead of the onboard, or something that is really heavy on processing, then it will. When the fan runs, it is noticeable but not obnoxious.

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'm not sure what you are asking here. Why would a fan mess up your laptop? It works as expected and keeps the laptop cool. Perhaps that answers your question.

Hi Caroline, This lapdesk does not have anything that will cool a laptop. It is a solid piece of heavy duty plastic (no vent holes). You will still need a fan. It does have a large surface area to work on so you do not have to worry about space at all. Also, It has pockets and cushioning underneath that make it very confortable. Hope this helps.

It doesn't. You do need to have a fair air flow. I have 5 fans in my case additional to the ones on the Graphic card and honestly it's more than necessary. Neither fan ever starts spinning around like crazy because of the heat, it always stays at a nice temperature even when I'm having a high performance.

Not sure why people are saying it has fans with LEDs....because the Air 540 does NOT have fans with lights. I researched this case for months before I bought it. No LEDs, just the basic indicator case lights for power and hard drive activity. Black fans, no lights. Just the way I like it.

If you go to the website it does state that it helps keep the heat down, thus the fan shouldn't run as much. I have noticed this to be true for my MacBook, but I think the age of your laptop would factor into it.

The airflow is actually pretty good. You can install two fans on top pushing air out. You can install fans in front pulling air in. There are gaps with vents along the top and in the front that do not look like they allow much flow, but they are just fine. The power supply in this case is installed upside down as there is a vent on the bottom. If you did not turn it upside down, I would recommend it.

The fans blow toward the laptop. Most laptops take the air in from the bottom, which is where the fans circulate the blowing air.

The laptop has a powerful fan and blows all the heat out on the left side, so of course try no to keep it covered when it's on. I was at first worried the heat would affect the power cord that is not too far from the heat source, but the actual power cord is surprisingly cool despite that; it has worked well without an additional cooler but it wouldn't hurt to get one. My room has two fans so just in case I keep them on especially when I game. My gaming performance hasn't been affected at all and I play WoW on the High settings. But if you just surf the internet and use basic stuff it doesn't produce much heat at all. The most heat it uses is if you are playing a big game The laptop has a powerful fan and blows all the heat out on the left side, so of course try no to keep it covered when it's on.

Of course it depends on the fan setting, but I have noticed walking toward the fan from 15-20 feet away there is air movement on the medium speed setting

There's one under the laptop and another one to the left side. The one that its used the most is the one to the side though. This is good as it doesn't need a fan to keep it cool.

The one I purchased pushes/sucks the air out. In my opinion, this may be the best direction as the CPU heat sink and fan draws/pulls hot air up from the CPU and since this fan would be fixed in close proximity it would be good to have it complete the job by taking that hot air out of the case.

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.

My external fan exhaust is around 8 inches from my CPU. The lines are long enough for that, but not much more.
