Does this pad blow air towards or suck air away from the bottom of my computer?

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!!

Sorry for the late reply. The cooling pad is tapered like a wedge. The bottom is flat with similar vent holes like the top. It has rubber L shaped legs to stop it from sliding. Note: I bought mine in 2012 and it lasted a year plus. I believe it developed a short in the cable.

Pushes air toward bottom of laptop to cool it very effectively. I use it continously for several hours daily w/o any problems whatsover on my desk and/or my lap very comfortably while traveling. Well made, light weight & travels well! Highly recommended!!! Also, Great Bang for the Buck !!! . . . ;>)

I'm not exactly sure what you mean, but there are 3 little fans on the bottom that basically take heat away from the bottom of your computer. It works very well. It looks super cheap like it wouldn't work but after many months, still working great. If I turn it on when my computer is hot, it cools down within about 5 minutes.

Normally, a fan at the back of the case should exhaust air. You want to pull air all the way through the case, and the power supply (also normally at the back) pulls air out of the case - the back fan should assist this. If you use additional fans at the front of the case, you want these configured to intake air. I've also seen configurations where exhaust is at the top, and intake at the bottom, but you want to make sure to include the disk drives in the air flow pattern.

Neither, no air is drawn from or pushed outside of the case, this guy just pulls air thought the fans forcing air on a GPU or similar or card. It does work but it is not the most quiet.

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.

System , somewhere in the case , probably where air isnt directly hitting it . CPU , on/near heatsink (dont let it get too near the fan .HDD - ?????????? I just have this one in my system as well ...

I use my laptop while sitting in my bed or on the couch all the time. I've never had a problem with the vents getting blocked. It seems to circulate pretty well, sometimes so well that I don't have to plug the fan into my laptop (the extra space between the laptop and whatever surface I'm using is sometimes enough for the laptop's fan to circulate hot air away without the help of this fan, though I tend to plug it in after I've been using the laptop for a while).

negative. well. perhaps if you turn all the so that they blow air into the case it would be a positive pressure. I run the fans on the front pulling in air and the top fan and back fan so that they force the air out and my power supply sucks air in from the base and out the back independent of the case ventilation.I have two fans I planned on adding to the bottom forcing air into the case.at this point the motherboard temp cpu and memory are staying cool. I have have sabertooth mb that has thermal controls for the fan.

pulls the heat down and out the sides, the bottom is solid, there are two twist knobs that open up the center for the air to flow out. So far, THE Best Laptop fan I've ever owned, and this is my 4th one.

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.

It sucks air in from the sides and blows it out the top. I keep mine about a foot from the wall.

I'm not sure I follow u but it should suck from inlet an air should blow from outlet

No, unless you have it on a flat surface on your lap. The fans are not covered so any soft/uneven surface will hit the fans.

It will blow cool air to the bottom of the system (system should have some sort of "intake" vent somewhere on the bottom - side vents would be exhaust/air blowing out) even if it doesn't have a vent on the bottom, the cooler pad should help cool the battery pack and the external housing for the hard drive (bringing down the temperature of the system). Hope this helps.

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.
